Thank you for this. I cannot say enough how amazing this is. I can relate so much to your point that it takes courage to ask for mercy, as well as to show it.

I don't know what to say about the case of Mr. Ramiro as stories such as this are so difficult. Even though the state of Texas did not want to offer mercy, prayers that he found Divine Mercy. As you describe he was able to find his way towards the light.

There are so many miraculous stories of people who committed the worst of sins to become transformed and find mercy and new life. I love to find such stories and try to turn to them when I need reassurance I can seek and show mercy even after my darkest transgressions. One such resource is The Forgiveness Project. https://www.theforgivenessproject.com/

I'm so glad I can add this story to my list, I will certainly be returning to it often.
