I always tell my children, and my students at church, that God is much more merciful than we are, and isn't that a good thing for ME.

And pointing to any crucifix will demonstrate the extent of His Love...

In the Magnificat today, there is a meditation on the Gospel of Matthew concerning the owner of the vineyard who goes out 5 times to seek laborers for the day. The mediation was by St. Thomas Aquinas. He points out that God GOES OUT five times for us...not once or twice but FIVE. His entire mediation was beautiful. No wonder he is called the "Angelic Doctor."
