Hey, everybody. Welcome to You Were Born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo and Mary Guilfoyle.

We're a couple of missionaries at Acts 29, and this is the podcast.

We talk about how acquiring a biblical worldview brings us great hope.

God who created and rescued this world in order that you and I can be agents of transformation and

recreation. Hope is the theme of this episode, isn't it, Mary? Amen, it is. I can't think of anything

that stirs my heart more than hope and mercy because I stand as one who's constantly in need of both.

And as we get closer and closer to Holy Week,

especially in this Jubilee Year of Hope,

my goodness is the,

I think the passages that we're going to reflect on from Psalm 51.

Please, God, will just resonate with us.

And I hope, I love saying this,

catapult us,

because that's just a great word,

out into a world which is

desperate for hope so what is our topic topic for today is are we missionaries of mercy

i think i can say i am because i formerly am a missionary of mercy from pope francis thanks be to

god i'm not sure how that happened, but I think my mom must have

written in my name or something before she passed away. Let's pray. In the name of the Father,

the Son, the Holy Spirit. Amen. Our gracious Father, we just thank you again for the opportunity that

we have to do what David did and to open our lips and declare your praise and announce your goodness,

especially to those who are joining us who might be most in need of knowing who you are,
