Moving on to talking about God’s grace, let us first look at its definition. Praying for God’s Mercy is still something that can not replace the sacrament of reconciliation. Praying for God’s Mercy can also be seen as asking for forgiveness from our sins, though do not confuse this as a confession.
It simply makes us better as humans and helps us to strengthen our relationship with Him. If you’re wondering if you can pray for God’s Mercy, the answer is yes, of course! Prayer is a communication that we have with God, and opening your heart to Him and asking for His Mercy is a beautiful thing. As Catholics, we are able to experience God’s Mercy through the sacrament of reconciliation which is a genuine and special gift from Him. Sin is something that is normal that we go through as humans, but there is of course some gravity to the sins that we commit. One very important aspect of God’s Mercy is that you can only really truly understand the whole experience of it when there is an involvement of sin. “The Lord answered: I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim my name, “Lord,” before you I who show favor to whom I will, I who grant Mercy to whom I will.” We see His Mercy in the bible, just like in Exodus 33:19
When it comes to God’s Mercy, the definition definitely does not steer away far, but in essence, it is God’s forgiveness. In this discussion on Mercy and grace of God let’s begin first with understanding what is Mercy and, specifically, what is God’s Mercy? By definition, Mercy is defined in the New Oxford American Dictionary as “compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm.” We all know that the Mercy and Grace of God exist, but sometimes it gets a bit difficult to understand these words and what exactly do they mean entirely.
