Hey there, Sprouts.

Today is Friday, April 25th, 2025.

Today, again, is a solemnity.

It is Easter Friday.

So keep celebrating.

It is definitely a day when you can eat meat.

And a quick heads up. This weekend, we continue to have solemnities. One of my favorite feasts of the whole year is on Sunday. On Sunday, we celebrate

Divine Mercy Sunday. This is a special day where we recall Jesus appearing to Faustina with his message of

endless mercy for the world. When Jesus appeared, he had two points that is really important that we

hold in our minds and in our hearts at the same time. The first one is that he is an ocean of mercy, that there is

never a sin we could commit, even the worst possible sin, that they can still be forgiven if we

approach him with a kind trite heart and ask for his mercy. Okay, so you can never do something that is unforgivable.

But the other thing that Jesus spoke to Faustina about a lot is how painful it is for him

with all of the people in the world that refuse to receive his mercy. And they refuse maybe because they don't think

that their sins are a big deal, that they don't believe in him or trust him. And so it's both of

those things. You can never do something that is unforgivable, but also you need forgiveness.

It hurts Jesus when we dismiss our sins and think, oh, they aren't a big deal.

Jesus doesn't care about that.

He does.
