Silent Day of Prayer on Mercy and Forgiveness Receiving Forgiveness: Opening the Doors of Mercy Fr. Stan Malnar, MD "Mercy and compassion are in Your Hands. Pour us a little, and tenderness too, because our need is great." Mary Oliver
“Forgiveness is the essence of the love which can understand mistakes and mend them.” This line from Pope Francis shares that in the home of our hearts, “each act of forgiveness fixes the cracks in the house and strengthens its walls.” Since God never tires of forgiving us, we are the ones who lack the courage to go to Him for mercy. Come hear Father Malnar’s stories, pray the prayers and experience the silence that makes forgiveness new during this holy Easter season. Includes Mass, two Conferences, lunch, Holy Hour of Adoration and the Sacrament of Reconciliation $45 per person, ($55 with the use of a room for the day).
