END OF YEAR OF MERCY
Today ends the liturgical year and the special Year of Mercy. Reflect once again on God’s infinite mercy and compassion:
God of Mercy, help me to believe in new beginnings. Help me to be a beginning inspiration for others,
to be a singer to the songless, a storyteller to the aimless;
To become a beginning of hope for the despairing of assurance for the doubting, of reconciliation for the divided;
To become a beginning of freedom for the oppressed, of comfort for the sorrowing, of friendship for the forgotten;
To become a beginning of beauty for the forlorn, of sweetness for the soured, of wholeness for the broken.
Help me to believe in beginnings, to make a beginning, to be a beginning,
so that I may not just grow old, but grow new each day of this wild, amazing life you call me to live
with Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A NEW JOURNEY
God of Mercy and Compassion, go with me on a new journey towards what can only be measured
in bread shared and needs met; in bodies healed and minds liberated;
in barriers removed and communities formed; in doors flung open and all received; in songs sung and justice done;
in laughter in the night and joy in the morning; in love through the years and gladness of heart;
in gathering at table and the coming of the kingdom; in your name praised and Alleluia sung for ever and ever.
Amen.

BE MERCIFUL
Be merciful, be merciful, just as God is merciful to you. Answer evil with good, answer hatred with love. Be merciful as God is merciful.
As a tender father, God is merciful; as a loving mother, God is merciful, slow to anger, and full of compassion.
Show compassion to the lost and forgotten; give comfort to the sick and the dying. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Share your riches with the hungry and homeless, and advocate for those in prison. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
And, as Jesus taught us, love your enemies, do good to the ones who hate you. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Offer blessings to the ones who curse you, and pray for the ones who abuse you. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Clothe yourselves in love and compassion; Be forgiving as God has forgiven you. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
