Welcome to a new podcast, "Divine Mercy Calls to Our Hearts," hosted by Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, and acclaimed author Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle.

In this episode, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle and Fr. Mark Baron dive into the healing power of forgiveness—a true act of mercy and freedom. They unpack how forgiveness is not about forgetting or condoning harm, but about choosing to let go, pray for those who hurt us, and will God’s goodness into their lives. Fr. Mark shares insights from the confessional and deliverance ministry, explaining how emotional wounds like bitterness and resentment can hold us back spiritually. Together, they reflect on the wisdom of St. Faustina, who reminds us that while we can't always control our feelings, we can still choose to love and forgive—with God’s grace.
