Jesus Emmanuel, our Saviour…let your blessing come upon us this Advent | ![]() |
Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace and that your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed and restore sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy. (Pope Francis) Blessed are you Loving God, for showing mercy to the merciful. Mercy is not pity. Mercy is when we reach out to those in need. It is feeling with them and for them. (Pope Francis) | |
Do I value people and show them respect and kindness? | ![]() |
Forgive us for the times we have put our own comfort above all else and for using selfishly the good things you have given us. Pardon us for our failures to realise we are spiritually poor and need your help at all times. | ![]() |
