Our refuge

is in the very heart of God

Not one of us can find a sure refuge at any door, except the door of divine Mercy .

But here the vilest sinner can find eternal shelter; and not mere cold shelter only, for God's mercy is "tender." We flee here for refuge, and find it.

Strong walls shut out all pursuing enemies, and cover us from all storms.

Then, as we begin to rejoice in our security, we learn that we are inside a sweet home , and not merely a secure shelter.

Our refuge is in the very heart of God ; and no mother's bosom was ever so warm a nest for her own child, as is the Divine mercy for all who find refuge in it.

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation.

He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior." 2 Samuel 22:2-3
