In today’s homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer reflects on one of the most powerful prayers ever uttered: “O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” These few words reveal the essence of the Gospel — the cry of a heart that finally recognizes its total dependence on God’s mercy. True humility is not self-hatred but truth before God. When we admit that we cannot save ourselves, we open the floodgates of divine mercy.
