Miracles happen when people are unified in the Lord. Take St. John, stranded on the island of Patmos, for example. Even in that banishment, he still received the overwhelming message from Jesus to "be not afraid." Take another example from the Upper Room. Even as the disciples were terrified when Jesus appeared despite the door being locked, Jesus said, "Peace be with you." Miracles!
But then Jesus gave them all a job, the same job he gives us today: be merciful as God is merciful. Now mercy isn't getting even. It's about forgiveness. And before we can be merciful to others, we must first accept God's mercy upon ourselves. When we start thinking it's too hard to give or accept mercy, we need to remember that all things are possible with God.
Mercy is the great thing our country and world need now because we are so divided. Showing and granting forgiveness to others creates peace, concord, and unity - a miracle for those united in the Lord! In order for an alleluia to be on our lips this Easter, we must show mercy to others!
