The Need For Forgiveness

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.

The Wound That Draws God Near

The Gospel presents a man described as “full of leprosy.” Not partially wounded. Not mildly afflicted. Completely sick. And yet this is the man who is healed — because he approaches Jesus correctly. Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, explains that Scripture reveals three responses to spiritual leprosy. The first is pride: refusing to see one’s own sin while accusing everyone else. This leprosy cannot be healed because it denies the wound. The second is despair: seeing the sin clearly but believing mercy is impossible. This leprosy turns inward and never reaches the Physician.

A Culture Without Love Cannot Defend Life

In today’s homily, Fr. David reminds us that the pro-life mission begins not only with defending the unborn, but with defending the truth about the human person. As the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith taught in Donum Vitae (1987), “Human life must be absolutely respected and protected from the moment of conception.” This foundational truth reveals why the Church insists that no one may claim the right to directly destroy an innocent human being—for life begins with the creative action of God and belongs entirely to Him.
