8 Oct • Jonah’s Anger & God’s Mercy
A reflection on Jonah’s story: Nineveh’s repentance, Jonah’s anger, and God’s compassionate mercy. A brief, faith-filled meditation calling viewers to repentance, trust in God, and hope for a world God does not want to lose. Ideal for Scripture reflection, Catholic daily readings, and spiritual encouragement.
