On Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Altman shared with his parishioners that Jesus used examples of good people and bad people in order to teach his followers right from wrong. Some of the worst offenders in Jesus' day were the clergy of his day. Jesus' divine mercy is available to all who sincerely repent of their sins. But many choose not to choose to seek Jesus gracious gift of mercy because they do no believe they are sinners. This is due, at least in part, to the poor formation by the clergy. Fr. Altman then provided two examples of clergy - one who displays holiness and one who does not. Here's a link to the video of the holy priest who begs for forgiveness. https://youtu.be/rp_LrrYAvUY
