Welcome back to God’s Playbook! In today’s episode, we dive into the Gospel of Matthew and reflect on Jesus’ powerful words: “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” Why did Jesus choose someone like Matthew? And what does that teach us about God’s mercy and our call to be compassionate toward others? Join Fr. Rico as he unpacks what it really means to be merciful—especially when it’s hardest—and how mercy reflects the very heart of Jesus.
