“Ask for mercy, be merciful and completely trust in the Lord,” he said.

“Ask and you shall receive. When you receive, then you let that mercy flow to others and be outpouring with mercy,” he said.

“Thirdly is to completely trust in God and let him take control,” he said.

Co-ordinator of Divine Mercy Fiji Kalara Liku said the ‘Divine Mercy’ has been here since the beginning.

“The Lord wants us to be merciful like him. The Divine Mercy is Jesus himself and he is there for us,” she said.

“Even if our sins are as deep as the deepest ocean and dark as the darkest night, he is always there and is merciful,” he said.

Father James Ross and Father Tavite Naiveli accompanied the Archbishop-elect.
