Your misery is not Greater than his Mercy | Fr. Scott Foley
Your misery is not Greater than his Mercy | Fr. Scott Foley
In his powerful Tuesday reflection, Fr. Scott Foley, draws from the writings of St. Faustina Kowalska to remind us of a profound truth: God’s mercy is always greater than our misery. Jesus invites us to trust in Him, saying that if we struggle to believe His words, we should believe in His wounds—the ultimate testimony of His love. God became man so that He could suffer and die for our salvation. Each of us possesses a unique, immortal soul, created for eternity. God desires everyone to be with Him in Heaven, yet He respects our freedom to choose. St. Faustina’s testimony reminds us that hell is real, and the devil seeks to deceive us into denying the eternal consequences of our choices. The question we must ask ourselves is: Am I ready to meet the Lord today?
Our faith cannot remain only in words; it must be reflected in our actions, our repentance, and our sincere desire for salvation. Actions speak louder than words, and our daily choices should reveal our trust in Jesus and His merciful love. Through St. Faustina’s Diary, we discover that no human misery is greater than God's mercy. No matter how far we have fallen or how deeply we have sinned, His mercy has no limits for the soul that turns to Him with repentance and trust. Jesus does not want us to despair but to open our hearts to His forgiveness. The choice is ours: to reject His love or to embrace the mercy that can save us for eternity.
