Wis 11, 23 But you have mercy on all

(Wis 11, 23) But you have mercy on all

[23] But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook the sins of men that they may repent.

(CCC 270) God is the Father Almighty, whose fatherhood and power shed light on one another: God reveals his fatherly omnipotence by the way he takes care of our needs; by the filial adoption that he gives us ("I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty") (2 Cor 6:18; cf. Mt 6:32): finally by his infinite mercy, for he displays his power at its height by freely forgiving sins.
