IT’S true! While divine mercy will have the last word, the requirements of justice, including human justice, no matter how imperfect it is, will have to be tackled first.

Again, Christ himself tells us very clearly what true love for him involves or, shall we say, requires. “He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me,” he said. “And he that loves me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (Jn 14,21)

This happens when with all the excitement we put into our earthly activities, we fail to reach the ultimate end proper to us, and that is, to be with God, to do everything to show our love for him, and to give him glory. In other words, when we fail to follow what Christ once said: “Do not work for food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life.” (Jn 6,27)

The secret is simply to follow what Christ tells us. He is always around and is eager to help us especially in our needs and helplessness. This we can gather from that gospel episode about the third appearance of the resurrected Christ to his disciples. (cfr. Jn 21, 1-14)

That’s how our attitude should be toward the cross, in whatever form it may come to us. It may be in matters of health, finances, family and business concerns, etc., we should just welcome the cross knowing that if we carry it together with Christ, it will surely work for the salvation of mankind, since that was the reason Christ embraced his cross.

Christ said it very clearly! We need to be merciful and forgiving of everyone since that trait or attitude would liken as to God our Father who wants us precisely to be like him. (cfr. Lk 6,37)
