Unspeakable Mercy: from the 2009 Living Beyond Disease Retreat Michele Longo O\'donnell

Publisher Marketing: Contained within these pages is heaven's answer to all earthbound suffering. We discover here what is the single factor which causes us to see what is not. We find the single revelation which removes the clay from our eyes to behold heaven right here, as earth. And we discover what that clay really is that has held us forever in such confusion. When we behold heaven what will we see? The return to Eden must follow the path through the angel with the flaming sword. This sword has one objective and that is to burn away the present human acceptance of being unclothed, undone, unworthy and just "all wrong." The fiery sword never touches us but removes from us all false coverings. When we finally stand unaccused, guiltless, blameless and wholly innocent, we find ourselves in the eternal Glory and wordless wonder of Eden. All this comes with a true and clear understanding of Mercy ... the core, the heart, the source of God. Mercy is not compassion although man customarily uses the words interchangeably. Mercy is not forgiveness, although that also is erroneously often used as well. Forgiveness implies something to be cleansed from, an offense. But Mercy cannot see what it knows has never truly existed. It is capable of seeing only what is eternally true, consistent and perpetual ... the immutable Glory of God shining through each one of us ... as though there were only one of us. The seeing of that, the knowing of that, heals the nations; a commission given unto the sons of God. Without the knowledge and understanding of the core character-attribute of Mercy, we will never fulfill our calling as priests unto God.
