On Confidence in the Merciful Love of God

It is confidence that sustains us daily and will enable us to stand before the Lord on the day when he calls us to himself as indicated by the striking words of St Therese of the Child Jesus. " In the evening of this life, I shall appear before you with empty hands, for I do not ask you, Lord, to count my works. All justice is stained in your eyes. i wish then, to be clothed in your own justice and to receive from your love the eternal possession of yourself."
Apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis for the 150th anniversary of the birth of St Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face.
