Dear friends, praise be to Jesus and Mary!

2. Forgiving the unforgivable! Pascual, a little Colombian boy, was very kind and very handsome. One day, while at school, a priest made an inappropriate proposal to him. This failed, because Pascual ran away from him and thus escaped from this predator. However, his little child’s heart, was so disturbed by this that he rejected all priests, the Church and even God himself. He became a hardcore atheist that day. As he was growing up, he searched for meaning in his life. He immersed himself in Eastern philosophies and practices and became a Buddhist.
One day, his best friend suggested a trip to Bosnia – Herzegovina (Medjugorje), hoping to bring him back to Christ and reconcile him with the Church. He told him about the beauty of the landscape and about these 6 Croatian children who experienced extraordinary things with Heaven. Stung by curiosity, Pascual agreed. So he arrived in Medjugorje without suspecting for a second that the Blessed Mother was waiting for him there. Using her incomparable maternal skills, she managed to conquer his heart and bring him back to Jesus.
When he returned home to Colombia Pascual was a different man. He became a true believer who exuded peace and joy. His soul was filled at last with that true light that he had been searching for. But the memory of this priest remained engraved in him. Through prayer and the sacraments, Pascual had the courage to forgive him from the bottom of his heart. He even went so far as to search for him. When he was able to meet him, he found an old man who greeted him warmly without recognizing him. Pascual told him the story of an innocent little boy who had placed all his trust in a priest, but who on one dark day, betrayed him. This little boy had grown up.
The old priest listened to this whole story and very quickly understood, between the lines, what this was all about, and he began to tremble. But Pascual hastened to reassure him. “Be at peace! This is the same little boy who is talking to you today! He has come to tell you that he has forgiven you with all his heart. Not only has he forgiven you, but Jesus has healed his wound, so that it no longer bears any trace of bitterness or rebellion”.
At these words, the priest burst into tears, and sobbed deeply from the depths of his being. Then he whispered in a voice broken by emotion: “For 36 years, I have been haunted by what I did; for 36 years I have sought peace without finding it; for 36 years I have begged God to forgive the unforgivable. And now, today, he has heard me! I will be able to die in peace because you came to visit me.”
Pascual stood up and hugged the priest for a long time until the tremors of his sobs subsided. God’s Mercy won a beautiful victory on that day! (PS 1)

3. An abyss of Mercy! Sister Josefa Menendez (1890-1923) is one of those souls that is well hidden by God Himself, exhaling a delightful fragrance throughout the Church after her death. This was the case with Little Therese of Lisieux, but she is not the only one. God hides them to make sure that their perfume does not evaporate. These fragrances delight us today, and it is good to breathe them in by taking these souls out of the shadows, especially in these days of mercy that follow the Easter celebration. Sister Joseph had her secrets, because she used to speak heart to heart with Jesus. (PS 2)
In these times when man no longer knows where to turn to find some hope, it is good to quote this excerpt from the words of Jesus, which should be read very slowly and very carefully. We need this to ignite our inner fire!
“My Heart is not only an abyss of Love, it is also an abyss of Mercy. It knows all of human misery, which is experienced even by the most loved of souls. That is why I wanted to give their actions infinite value, however small they may be, when done out of love for Me, for their own good and for the salvation of sinners.
“I want to tell these souls how far the Love of My Heart can go: not only does it use their ordinary life and their every deed, but, for the good of souls, it also wants to use their miseries, their weaknesses and even their downfalls. Yes, Love transforms and makes everything divine, and Mercy forgives everything!” (Dec. 5, 22)
