DEANERY

YEAR OF
MERCY
On 8 December 2015, the
Solemnity of the

Pope Francis desires that the year will be steeped
in mercy, so that we can go out to every man and
woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness of
God! May the balm of mercy reach everyone, both
believers and those far away, as a sign that the
Kingdom of God is already present in our midst!
(Bull of Indiction 5)

POPE FRANCIS PRAYER FOR THE JUBILEE

YEAR OF MERCY
Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful
like the heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Show us your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being
enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking
happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his
betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you
spoke to the Samaritan woman: If you knew the gift of God!
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who
manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the
Church be your visible face in the world,
its Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in
weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in
ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel
sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its
anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace
from the Lord, and 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,
you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit
for ever and ever. Amen.
