There is a beautiful hymn – “The Wideness of God’s Mercy” – that was composed by Frederick W. Faber in 1854. We sang the hymn at mass this past weekend. I will share a few verses with you here:

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, which is more than liberty.

There is no place where earth’s sorrows are more felt than up in Heaven; There is no place where earth’s failings have such kindly judgment given.

There is welcome for the sinner; and more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood.

Always know how much He loves you.
