The "Big Lie" is that you cannot be forgiven. I can't be forgiven. Too much. Too much time. Too much sin. I am not worthy.
And that's the "Big Lie" because the Christ of Divine Mercy, Christ Crucified, has already given the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. We are forgiven.
Agnus Dei! who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
It is fitting that we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday as the octave of Easter. We are Didyimus, we are Mary Magdalene, we are Peter, we are Thomas, we are Saul of Tarsus! We are forgiven!
Take the first step: Forgive me Father, for I have sinned, it has been ___ years since my last confession . . .
