Jubilee of Mercy Prayer by Pope Francis
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.
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who mani-
fests His power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be
your face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness In or-
der that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let
everyone who approaches them feel sought a)er, loved and forgiven by
God.
Send you Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anoin%ng, 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 cap%ves 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 forever and ever.
will be held on January 29 & 30, 2016 , at the Kordes Retreat Center. Registration forms are available in the back of church.

4th Sunday of Advent "Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste." What was the rush? Why did Mary go so quickly to visit her cousins Elizabeth and Zechariah? It's hard to know exact-ly what her purpose was, but one thing is clear: Mary and Elizabeth shared a special connection. Per-haps Mary was anxious to be in the company of someone who could understand her unusual situation. At this point, Mary was newly preg-nant by the power of the Holy Spir-it. The verses preceding today's reading tell us about the appear-ance of the Angel Gabriel and Mary's willingness to become the
mother of the Messiah. Now, this child was already growing within her womb, but the whole thing was an incredible secret. Who would believe her? In whom could Mary confide the unbelievable events that had taken place? We know that at some point later, Joseph had a vision in a dream that al-lowed him to understand. But be-fore that dream came, he was planning to part ways with Mary. It must have been during that diffi-cult time that Mary went to see Elizabeth. And what joy that upon her arrival, Elizabeth immediately understood. "Blessed is the fruit of your womb," Elizabeth cried out.
The same Holy Spirit who con-ceived Jesus in Mary's womb en-lightened Elizabeth at this moment. What a consolation this must have been to Mary. This story reminds us of the im-portance of our own fellowship in the faith. Sharing our spiritual jour-ney with other believers who are receptive to the Holy Spirit is meant to be a source of encour-agement and strength. We are not supposed to be in this alone. As we worship and celebrate together with our faith community, may we share with each other the real joy of this sacred season.
