Father Mark Baron, MIC encourages us to check out "Mercy Moments Bible Study" — a video series from the Marian Fathers featured exclusively on DivineMercyPlus.org.Hosted by Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, the series reflects on Scripture passages throughout the Bible, highlighting moments throughout Salvation History where God's Divine Mercy is put into action.

Fr. Anthony Gramlich reminds us that peace does not begin with politicians, treaties, or worldly agreements—it begins in the human heart. Even the most powerful leaders cannot bring lasting peace if the heart of man remains in turmoil. As Fr. Anthony says, “The war doesn’t begin on the outside. It begins with hatred—hatred toward your brother.” We can sign countless peace agreements, but as long as hearts are not reconciled to God, those agreements will crumble.

Father Anthony reflects on these passages from Matthew as our guide to not get caught up in the anxiety of day-to-day life, but to rely on the providence of God’s mercy.
