There is an old hymn called “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” It speaks of the privilege and comfort of the depth of intimacy Jesus shares with each of us on a personal level; through all the joys and sorrows, ups and downs of life.
There are many words and teachings of Jesus that make people uncomfortable, the times where your insides feel stretchy and squirmy.
Most Catholics can probably easily recall the seven sacraments. But if there was an eighth sacrament, it could possibly be the sacrament of the present moment.
The mercy of God is unending and yet sometimes that is hard for us to accept. Pope Francis once said, “God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.”
