Start of the Year of Mercy
This Tuesday marks the start of the Catholic Church’s Extraordinary Year of Mercy.
The church encourages us to perform spiritual works of mercy.
These include being compassionate; being patient with others even if
we are being treated unfairly; forgiving others, even if we do not
feel they deserve forgiveness. Each time we ‘show’ mercy,
we open ourselves to receive mercy from God.
We held a special assembly and each child was given special prayer card.
