What is God most intense about? Not rules. Not perfection. Mercy.

Fr. Malachy CFR shares stories from his own novitiate, the kindness of an older friar, and St. Francis himself to show that God’s deepest desire is to meet us in weakness. Mercy heals shame, restores dignity, and makes love visible in the world.
