Thesis on Mercy

Concerning the Benevolence and Mercy of God:

In concerning oneself in the matters of faith, we are reminded of the most prevalent yet sometimes misunderstood quality of the Godhead: mercy. We, the faithful flock, sealed under the sacrament of our baptism in which we too are cleansed and anointed by the grace of God through the Waters of Gamesh, are the chosen creation whose lives are dependent on the mercy of our Creator. The Scroll of Gospels illustrates a vivid image on the nature of His mercy as the Lord rejoices in His creation and showers upon the first man and first woman the bountiful graces of knowledge and language (Provenance 1:14-15).

 

God is indeed most merciful, the benevolent Creator whose splendor is never forgotten throughout the ages since its revelation through the Testaments of the Exalted Prophets. His mercy is a notion that the faithful lie in hope to attain. For when we sin, we must atone. When we atone, we are forgiven. Moreover, it is imperative to understand that the mercy of God is one that transcends mortal understanding. The idea of unconditional love is something only capable through a prism of divinity, that belonging solely to the Creator who sits above in the Seven Skies.

 

Many might ask, “How is it possible to be forgiven and to obtain this mercy?” The Holy Canonist Church teaches that through the sacrament of reconciliation, by confessing one’s faults and sins, is an individual truly able to seek the mercy and reestablish one’s path to salvation. To be penitent, to hold accountable one’s misgivings and failures, and to confess these acts of sin is the true path to merely understand the mercy of God. As the Sons of Horen, we are reminded that we are the most treasured creation in the eyes of the Godhead whose radiance and light continuously illuminates our being. To other creation, let us not forget that mercy is not disallowed. Moreover, it is attainable through virtue and through acceptance of the precepts of the One, true, Apostolic, and universal Church and to fidelity to the words of God who were divinely revealed through the prophets of the ages.

 

Brethren, our mandate in the spirit of mercy is not limited to the boundaries within our own consciences. Rather we are tasked to show mercy to all creation so that they might be saved and by assisting them in realizing the benevolence of the Creator. In the Scroll of Virtue, the Canticle of Charity impels us to share the abundance of our physical and material wealth and the charisma of our spiritual life. To be truly rich in this life is to be rich in mercy, to be merciful as the Godhead.

 

Dearest brethren in the faith, I state my convictions truly and candidly so that you might come to understand that the face of God is mercy. To show mercy is to show God and true love to all creation.

 

Asking for such grace to understand mercy and to compel our Most Holy Father, His Holiness Clement II, to be the voice of the downtrodden and the face of mercy to all the faithful, we continue to pray, Amen.
