February 12, 2023, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries) | Prayer for the Victims of the Earthquake in Turkey and Syria

Friends of the Rosary:

In today’s Gospel, we learn about the divine mercy of Jesus for suffering humanity.

We all need Christ’s compassion because of our inclination to sin and because of the many times we, unfortunately, give in to that inclination. Nothing but the mercy of God can save us from our own dysfunctions.

But, mind you, that mercy is available, if only we ask for it. Like the leper in today’s Gospel reading, he must firmly believe in the power and the mercy of Jesus.

“If you will, you can make me clean,” was his approach to Jesus.

Faith and confidence are the virtues we need to understand eternal truths.
