“mercy… this word changes everything. This is the best thing we can feel: it changes the world. A little mercy makes the world less cold and more just. We need to understand properly this mercy of God, this merciful Father who is so patient… Let us remember the prophet Isaiah who says that even if our sins were scarlet, God’s love would make them white as snow. This mercy is beautiful.” Pope Francis, Angelus, March 17, 2013
Isaiah 1:18 “Come now let us set things right, says the Lord: Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become as white as snow”
