About this listen

Welcome, Beloved, to Day 8 of our 33-day journey with Fr. Joseph Fernandes!Today, we face a truth that many of us struggle to accept: our God is a God ready to forgive. Drawing from Nehemiah 9:17, Fr. Joseph reminds us that even when we are stubborn, even when we drift toward "slavery" and sin, God remains gracious, merciful, and slow to anger.As we look at Jesus on the Cross, we hear His first prayer: "Father, forgive them." He doesn't wait for us to be perfect; He loves His own "till the end" (John 13:1). Today’s meditation is an invitation to stop looking at your sin and start looking at the Heart that has already forgiven you.🕊️ Today's 5-Minute Prayer Exercise: Focus on receiving and starting fresh.The Commitment: 5 Minutes. Find your quiet place and be faithful to this time.The Method: Use the Jesus Breath Prayer. As you breathe in, imagine His forgiveness entering every cell and artery like a cool breeze.The Visualization: See Jesus on the Cross. With one hand, He hugs you; with the other, He points to the Father and asks for your forgiveness.The Response: "Lord, I am yours. Give me the grace to accept Your forgiveness."📱 JOIN THE ACCOUNTABILITY GROUP Have you experienced the peace of His forgiveness today?
