The Face of Mercy
Some while ago, Pope Francis wrote a book entitled, “The Name of God is Mercy”. This theme of mercy has become a central feature of his teaching. As St. Paul says, “In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself… and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us” (1 Corinthians 5.19).
This month we mark the beginning of Lent. At the heart of this season is God’s call to “return to me with all your heart” (Joel2.12) and consequently to become the face of God’s mercy to others. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In short, as those who have received mercy, we are called to pass it on. I wonder what it would be like if each of us made a conscious decision this Lent, to reach out to someone that we don’t see at church at other times of the year? Not to guilt them back into returning but as an expression of hospitality and welcome.
This Lent, why not ponder the ways in which you are being called to become the face of mercy?
May the God of mercy open our hearts to those near us who are most in need of his tender embrace and set our hearts on fire with the desires to do his will. Amen |
