Jubilee Year of Mercy April 24, 2016 (5th Sunday of Easter)
Jubilee Day for Youth
This Sunday's "Youth Jubilee" previews July's World Youth Day in Krakow. Its theme from Matthew 5:7, "Blessed are the merciful," echoes Pope Francis' warning that "the practice of mercy is waning in the wider culture." In countercultural witness, therefore, "the time has come," says Francis, "for the Church to take up the joyful call to mercy once more. It is time to return to the basics and to bear the weaknesses and struggles of our brothers and sisters." Jesus affirms the same in today's Gospel. "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another" (John 13:34). Francis concludes, "The Church's very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love." Jesus too asserts, "This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35). Thus mercy "makes young" the Church, the world, and everyone. "Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to the future with hope" (Misericordiae Vultus, 10).

O Jesus,
I pray for your faithful and
fervent priests;
for your unfaithful & tepid
priests;
for your priests laboring at
home or abroad in distant
mission fields;
for your tempted priests;
for your lonely & desolate
priests;
for your young priests;
for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests
in Purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to
you the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me,
the priests who absolved me
from my sins, the priests at
whose Masses I assisted &
who gave me Your body &
blood in Communion,
the priests to whom I am
indebted any other way
especially (name….)
O Jesus, keep them all close to
your heart, and bless them
abundantly in time & in
eternity. Amen. --St. Therese of Lisieux
