What is Divine Mercy? How does it reach us?
¿Qué es la Divina Misericordia? ¿Cómo llega a
How does it look? In my life this has come about in two
ways. The first is the mercy of God on my nothingness.
Coming home from high school one day I was trying to
imagine what it would be like if I never existed. It was an
exercise of trying to imagine nothing, taking away all
memories, all feeling, all consciousness. I was not
imagining how life would be for others if I never existed,
but what never existing would be like for me. As I walked
up to the red door of the house where I lived I was all of a
sudden hit by what was for me like the back wall of the
universe. My mind ran into a wall, the wall of
nothingness, and in an instant it throw me back to myself
and hit me in the face with a great power. I drew in a deep
breath, like after having been literally hit in the face with
cold water, and I said: “Wow. I do exist.” I was filled with
awe at the fact that I am here, and that I very easily could
not have been. Existence was not something to be taken
for granted, but rather it reaches me as a huge gift. God
chose to call me out of nothingness, to have mercy on my
nothingness as a totally gratuitous gift, a total grace.
The second way that mercy reaches me is through
the knowledge that being here is good. It’s good that I’m
here, that we’re here. Life is good. Far from being a
superficial or cliché affirmation this has its origins in a
great grace. The grace of hope. Because I can only affirm
the goodness of life if I can have certain knowledge that
this life will not end. I discovered this hope in an
encounter with the Presence of the resurrected Christ.
Only an historical event that therefore is knowable in
experience is enough to change me and let me be myself.
What person can look at life and desire it all and love it all
and then have to say in the next moment that it’s a lie
because it will all go away? Can such a person truly be
himself? What mother can look at her children with
tenderness knowing that someday she will never see them
again? Can such a woman truly be a mother? These are
hateful prospects that create relationships of violence
because they are founded upon an illusion, a lie. For some
people life is a lie because it ends in death. From my
perspective without the resurrection of Christ everything
goes back to being the way it has been for the past 13
billion years: nothing. There is nothing, then my short
life, then nothing again. Instead, for us who have been
chosen: there is something, then our short life, God’s
forgiveness and then eternal life?
For this reason I truly believe that the Christian
fact is not something discovered in another world with
otherworldly consequences. It is a Presence that I meet
that truly allows me to be myself, that allows me to begin
to love myself and experience forgiveness, and which
allows me to say: It’s good to be here. That is Divine
Mercy.
nosotros? ¿Cómo se ve? En mi vida ha sucedido esto de dos
maneras. La primera es la misericordia de Dios en mi nada.
Un día, de vuelta a casa de la escuela secundaria, estaba
tratando de imaginar cómo sería yo si nunca hubiera existido.
Fue un ejercicio de tratar de imaginar nada, quitando todos los
recuerdos, todo sentimiento, toda la conciencia. No estaba
imaginando cómo sería la vida de los demás, si yo no existía,
pero lo que nunca existiría sería para mí. Mientras caminaba
hacia la puerta roja de la casa donde vivía tuve un golpe
repentino por lo que fue para mí como la pared del fondo del
universo. Mi mente se topó con un muro, el muro de la nada,
y en un instante me tiró de nuevo hacia mí mismo y me golpeó
en la cara con una gran potencia. Respiré profundamente al
igual que después de haber sido literalmente golpeado en la
cara con agua fría, y me dije: "Wow. Yo existo.” Me llené de
asombro ante el hecho de que yo esté aquí, y que muy
fácilmente no podría haber sido. La existencia no era algo que
se da por sentado, sino que me llega como un gran regalo.
Dios elige llamarme de la nada, a tener misericordia de mi
nada como un don totalmente gratuito, una gracia total.
La segunda forma en que la misericordia me llega es a
través del conocimiento que estar aquí es bueno. Es bueno
que estoy aquí, que estamos aquí. La vida es buena. Lejos de
ser una afirmación superficial o cliché esto tiene sus orígenes
en una gran gracia. La gracia de la esperanza. Porque sólo
puedo afirmar la bondad de la vida si puedo tener certeza de
que esta vida no va a terminar. Descubrí esta esperanza en un
encuentro con la Presencia de Cristo Resucitado. Sólo un
acontecimiento histórico que, por tanto, es cognoscible en la
experiencia es suficiente para cambiarme y dejarme ser yo
mismo. ¿Qué persona puede ver la vida y el deseo de todo y
amar todo y luego tener que decir en el momento siguiente que
es una mentira porque todo va a acabar? ¿Puede una persona
ser verdaderamente él mismo así? ¿Qué madre puede mirar a
sus hijos con ternura sabiendo que algún día ella nunca
volverá a verlos? ¿Puede una mujer realmente ser una madre
así? Estas son perspectivas de odio que crean relaciones de
violencia, ya que se fundamentan en una ilusión, una mentira.
Por muchos la vida es una mentira, ya que termina en la
muerte. Desde mi punto de vista, sin la resurrección de Cristo
todo vuelve a ser la forma en que ha sido durante los últimos
13 mil millones años: nada. No hay nada, entonces mi corta
vida, entonces nada de nuevo. En cambio, para los que hemos
sido elegidos: hay algo mas, ahora la corta vida, el perdón de
Dios y luego la vida eterna.
Por esta razón creo de verdad que el hecho cristiano
no es algo descubierto en otro mundo con otras consecuencias
mundanas. Es una Presencia que encuentro y que me permite
ser realmente yo mismo; que me permite comenzar a amarme
a mí mismo y experimentar el perdón, y lo que me permite
decir: Es bueno estar aquí. Esa es la Divina Misericordia.

Stewardship Thought for the Week….
“The community of believers was of one heart and mind and no one claimed that any of his possessions was
his own.” Acts 4:32
All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your talents and abilities—
these are all gifts from God. We aren’t really owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed
us with.
