What is Divine mercy? His Lordsheep Sosthene Bayemi

His Lordsheep Sosethene Bayemi,Bishop of Oballa and National coordinator of Charismatic renewal.

What I could gather from his Lordsheep Sosthene Bayemi;s talk on divine mercy

Divine mercy (miséricorde Divine) Corde is a greek word meaning heart; miséricorde Divine is Divine mercy,Merciful heart of God.

Divine mercy we contemplate on Jesus, to be as misericordiuse as the Father.
This sends us to the Church which is Divine mercy par excellence .God through Christ emptied his blood and water to reconcile humanity to Him.Divine mercy viewed from this angle is source of joy.

Practical examples: the woman who looks at her sick baby who is bed riden ; she is miséricordieuse to the brim.She has a merciful heart for the Child like to that of God for us.

The parable of the good samaritan, luke 10,33".....his heart was filled with pity ...."
 Jesus fed a huge crowd Mk 6,34 "......and his heart was filled with pity for them..."
Ddivine mearcy is not condescendant,It is not forgiveness but the two go together, neither does it signify libertinage-or that we continue sinning ad-infinitm

It is a dynamic. Jesus said "....I do not condemn you either.Go , but do not sin again.."When you are dragged out of mud and cleaned you do not go back to the mud again you do everything possible to remain clean.
To be remorsefull and ashamed after sinning is not bad but we should always muster the courage to confesse and repent.

If God ceases to forgive us we cease to exist
"If God ceases to forgive us we cease to be His priests" Pope Benoit 16

We all  have to  climb the Tabot mountain :read the word of God on a daily basis; acquint ourselves with the cathecheism of the Churh and above all pray without ceasing like was our master and Lord Jesus Christ.

That is how we will move toward being miséricordieuse   like our heavenly Father.

By seeing Jesus in our neighbour
By being a Source of joy to others
By being generous to our neighbours and above all to God
