Devine Mercy, more than a prayer

Today is Devine Mercy Sunday.  Hopefully, we have all prayed the Devine Mercy Chaplet at least once this week to remind us of the mercy shown us by God.  However, simply praying the prayer is not enough, we have to live that prayer as well.  That is what prayer can do.  We have prayed for Gods mercy on ourselves because we are fallible beings in need of great mercy.  Because he gives us this mercy we should not be like the servant who when shown mercy has none for his fellow servant, we must give that mercy away and be merciful too!   We have to be both physically and spiritual givers of mercy.  We have to forgive not just with our words but our actions.  God pours love and mercy out on us, we are called to do the same, everyday, in our families, at work, to our neighbors, and to the entire world.  We must be mercy itself.
