Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word Quotes

“Penance springs from a knowledge that I am worth so much that I do not have the right to deprive myself of the life that God wants to give me, or to deprive God himself, for that matter, of the irreplaceable love he seeks in me.”
― Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis, Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word: Meditations on the Gospel According to St. Matthew
