EXTRAORDINARY JUBILEE OF MERCY The Holy Year’s theme is from Luke Chapter 6 verse 36 Jesus tells his disciples: “Be merciful just as your Father is merciful.”

EXTRAORDINARY JUBILEE OF MERCY  MERCY?  How does God the Father show his mercy to us?  If we are merciful how do we act? The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant Matthew 18:23-35

What is the message? That God is merciful and forgiving and that we, too, must show mercy and forgiveness to others.

The Opening of the Holy Door Pope Francis will open the Holy Door at St. Peter’s in Rome on 8 th December. On the Third Sunday of Advent a Holy Door will be opened by Bishop Marcus in St. Anne’s Cathedral in Leeds

The Opening of the Holy Door To walk through a Holy Door is a sign that you want to change, to experience God’s love and mercy which brings hope and joy.

We could decorate our doors adding words from the Bible with pictures and symbols that show Jesus’ love and mercy We pray that anyone who enters through our Holy Doors will experience the love of God in this place. Holy Doors in School

The logo The motto, “Merciful like the Father” Be like God, do not judge or condemn, but love and forgive.

About the logo Jesus, the Good Shepherd, carrying us through life.

What do you notice?

The shared eye Jesus sees with the eyes of Adam, and Adam with the eyes of Jesus Jesus Christ became man so he knows what it is to be human. He invites us to see life as he sees it.

Coming closer to God during the Year of Mercy - Read and listen to God’s Word in the Bible and apply its message - Take opportunities to pray - Make a special effort to pray the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ - Go and confess at the Sacrament of Reconciliation - Live the message of God’s love and mercy at home and school

How can we show Mercy? - Feed the hungry - Help those in need - Visit the elderly - Visit the sick - Teach others about Jesus - Comfort the sorrowful - Forgive all those who have hurt us - Be patient with others - Pray for others
