Those Who Have A Problem With Divine Mercy, Usually Believe God Owes Them Grace.
The Divine Mercy Devotion is one that many have a problem with, I find that when I push some of them I find an idea that they are owed Grace.

Jude what you describe is the definition of true humility. Giving credit to God for all your gifts. You can indeed recognize that God has given you gifts just as long as you use them in the body, for its building up. I am referring to Grace. People who think they have a right to grace or that it is part of their nature.

Thank you Father. Happily I have no problem with Divine Mercy. I consider it preferable to what I deserve. 
Without Christ I am nothing. Without Christ's Mercy I have nothing. ( ¨Place your hope in God alone. If you notice something good in yourself, give credit to God, not to yourself, but be certain that the evil you commit is always your own and yours to acknowledge.¨ *Rule of St. Benedict …More

Great video! Anyone who has a problem with Divine Mercy should immediately seek out Sacrament of Reconciliation because if their heart has become so hardened as to have an aversion to Divine Mercy it should truly be a wake-up call as to where their spiritual life is directed.

Very very valid point you make Father, I am so glad you are on gloria, as you give us things to ponder, meditate and contemplate about. I thought of the story of the prodigal son when you were speaking and how the son who stayedat home doing everything right felt that he son who came back was not"deserving" of his fathers attention, love and mercy. It is hard for others who are doing things the …More
And all we have to do is ask and we shall receive but people do tend to judge the degree in which that mercy is to be given based on their own human grasp of this concept and mystery (their own judgement). I really enjoyed this very much! If only our hearts could comprehend that the Divine Mercy our Lord has for us is available for us all, that we need to humble ourselves in receiving it and pray that all of our brothers and sisters pray to receive it as well.
Oh my Jesus
forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell
lead ALL souls into Heaven
ESPECIALLY those, in MOST need of thy mercy
Amen
You are a blessing to us all Father,
May our Lord's peace reign supreme in your heart and soul always,
Maria :)
