“Mercy or Presumption?”
“Oh unfathomable divine mercy!” –
St. Faustina
What is mercy? Sometimes we
confuse mercy and presumption.
God manifests His mercy not merely
by forgiving sin and remitting its
punishment, but rather by delivering
man from sin itself, taking away the
very sin that causes man’s
diminishment and ultimately his
death. Clinging to sin is madness;
yet it seems that man is crazy. We
cling to our sins with more
vehemence than we have ever clung
to God: Why do I feel that I cannot
live without this particular sin? Why
am I addicted to this drug of sin?
Why am I not free? The promise of
God is here, “If the Son frees you,
you will be free indeed.” (John
8:32) Bottom line: if you want,
Christ can and will set you free.
Approaching God’s mercy means
seeking freedom: seeking the grace
of having sin (and not merely its
due punishment) taken away. On
the other hand, this is presumption:
I want to be forgiven, but do not
want to renounce my vices. I seek to
avoid the punishment due to sin, but
want to continue sinning. I do not
want to endure the consequences,
but refuse to let go of my sinful
behavior. I am mad indeed.
Maybe I have not realized that sin
always poisons and always destroys;
that it makes small those who are
destined for greatness.
Nothing good comes from sin,
nothing. If we think that our lives
would be less human without sin,
then we have not really understood
the nature neither of life, nor of sin.
Life is a gift destined to eternal
blessedness; sin is a mortal illness
that, if left untreated, can take away
that glorious destiny. The only
treatment is God’s mercy.
When we speak of the “happy
fault,” we are not rejoicing in sin,
but rather extolling God’s mercy,
which can bring good out of evil, by
giving to sinners such a Redeemer.
Only in this sense, sin may become
a “happy fault.” In no way we mean
that sin brings us happiness; the
“happy fault” will not be happy at
all, if we refuse to repent of it and
renounce it, in which case it would
bring us to eternal damnation.
The Lord desires to remove from
our lives whatever is preventing us
to be fully alive and truly happy; He
wills our freedom from sin and our
ultimate happiness. Our call to
greatness awaits us: becoming like
God – not supplanting Him, as
when we decide that we have the
prerogative of defining good and
evil, but rather becoming like Him in
goodness, generosity, purity, and so
on. That is why God created us, to
become like Him in the freedom of
obedience and trust; totally
surrendered to Him in all things.
Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,
have mercy on me, a sinner.
Sister Magdalena Casas-Nava, DLJC
