God's Mercy Revealed: Healing For A Broken World [Paperback]

Peter Magee (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 15, 2005

God s mercy hounds us, seeks us out; like rays of light seeping through cracks in the closed door of a darkened room, it draws us to that door, on the other side of which Jesus gently calls in the hope that we will open to him.


One of the worst effects of sin, Msgr. Magee tells us, is to make us think that God stops loving us. In turn we resist him, giving into a gnawing reluctance to believe that his love is unrelenting, forgiving, ever faithful, always persistent. We have a crazy distrust of the mercy of God. At the same time, we want to dodge the truth of who God is and what he requires of us. But as God s Mercy Revealed demonstrates, it is the truth alone that brings our wounds and pain into the light where mercy heals. Both truth and mercy are essential; both are names for God s living love for his people.

In compassionate, straightforward language, God s Mercy Revealed explores humanity s sorry path to nowhere as revealed in our willingness to distance ourselves from our Creator. Instead, the author urges us to close that gap, aware that even though sin might separate us from God, nothing stops him from coming close to us.

An inspirational guide to embracing the truth and receiving the Divine Mercy that never fails.

Editorial Reviews

Review

In God s Mercy Revealed, the reader will encounter abundant spiritual nourishment, a sure doctrinal guide and a voice of hope to encounter Christ once again and to follow him, He who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. --Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo, Apostolic Nuncio, United States of America

God s Mercy Revealed will stir the hearts of the reader in a very special way and present a spiritual synthesis of different aspects of our faith. Monsignor Magee calls us to penetrate the truth more deeply and to reflect on it in the quiet prayer of our lives...a worthwhile book for Catholic reading and meditation. --Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington
