The commandment of merciful love is not optional It is not one of the many liturgical and other different types of rules , but the only one , on the acceptance of which  depends our earthly as  well as our eternal life.

The question that Jesus puts to us is the same even now : I am hungry ! Will you feed me ? I am naked ! Will you dress me ? I am ignorant ! Will you teach me ? I am rude, uneducated, wretched! Will you look after me with love, goodness , mercy ? I am the prodigal son ! Can you bend down to me with the love and forgiving goodness of the father of the prodigal son ?
