Jubilee Year of Mercy

Jubilee Year of Mercy
Mercy that Loves
2

• During his homily for a Lenten penitential
  service, Pope Francis announced an extraordinary
  Jubilee to start at the end of the year, which
  will be dedicated to a theme close to the
  pontiffs heart mercy.
• It's a journey that starts with a spiritual
  conversion. For this reason I have decided to
  declare an Extraordinary Jubilee that has the
  mercy of God at its center.

Opening Prayer God of Love and compassion, help
us to open the door of mercy in our school
communities, in our families and in the
world. Let mercy guide our living and bring us
closer to the heart of the gospel. With your
merciful help, may we live as Jesus with mercy
that welcomes, loves, forgives and calls us to
live the gospel joyfully. We make this prayer to
you in his name. Amen.

• How can we work to see each other the way God
  sees us?

Closing Prayer God of mercy and compassion, We
thank you for the gift of your unconditional
love. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan,
you showed us how love can transcend all
differences. Transform us into true witnesses of
your mercy. Give us hearts that cry for those
among us who are wounded by the side of
the road. Give us hands that can help to heal
their wounds. Give us feet that will walk with
them to safety. May our school communities be a
place of mercy in which strangers are welcome and
invited to become friends.

Closing Prayer continued Remind us, Lord, that
the love we give to others is the greatest gift
we can give to you. We make this prayer in the
name of Jesus, your Son and our Lord. Amen.
