Year of Mercy

Pope Francis announced an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy from December 8th 2015 to November 20th 2016. This means that the Jubilee Year is out of the flow (every 25 years) so instead of being on 2025, it was in 2015! The Pope did this because there were too many wars in the world, he wants the world to be merciful and peaceful. The prayer cards also had the 'Merciful Like The Father' logo. I think that the Pope definately had the right idea because I strongly disapprove of war, and would not like for World War 3 to start. Lady Queen of Heaven brought the Candle of Mercy to us and we will keep it for a while before passing it on to another school.
