Jubilee of mercy prayer

JUBILEE OF MERCY PRAYER

Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heaven father and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your faith and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacheus 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 other that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error.
Send your spirit and consecrate everyone of us with its anointing so that the jubilee year 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 the captives and the oppressed and restore sights to the blind.
We ask this of you Lord Jesus, 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

1st Reading Sirach 27:30-28:7 Psalm 103:1-2, 3-4, 9-10, 11-12 (R. 8) R:// "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and rich in mercy" 2nd Reading Romans 14: 7-9 Gospel Matthew 18:21-35 SET PEOPLE FREE Friends, Peace and Goodness! Today is the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A). Let us launch into the readings. Our first reading is from Sirach 27:30-28:7. We just have to first understand that we are reading from one of the Deuterocanonical books. Sirach was written in Hebrew around 180 BC by a Jewish scribe and teacher, called Jesus Ben Sirach. The Greek translation was produced by his grandson in 132 BC in Alexandria, Egypt. The book is rich in Wisdom and is often regarded as an elderly person giving pieces of advice ...

15TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — YEAR C

1st Reading Deut. 30:10-14 Resp. Psalm Ps. 19:7.8.9.10 (R.8a) 2nd Reading Col. 1:15-20 Gospel Luke 10: 25-37 A CHARITABLE HEART MAKES A LAW-ABIDING BEING Today is the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, and the Word of God invites us to reflect on the question of the Law and our obedience to it. It further calls us to a practical identification of who a neighbour is. The Gospel, from Luke 10: 25-37, is an eye opener in this regard. As we reflect on the LAW, we need to take few things into consideration. Let us, first of all, bear in mind that our first reading is from Deuteronomy (Deut. 30:10-14). This is significant because, the LAW which is our focus for this Sunday is also a central theme in Deuteronomy. This book is fashioned around the LAW. Infact, it is the 5th book of the Hebrew Torah (Book of the LA...
