A Jubilee Prayer for Mercy


Adapted from Misericordiae Vultus, papal bull of induction 
proclaiming the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy

Loving God

Help us live out in our daily lives the mercy which you constantly extend to all of us.
As you cast open the doors of your heart to us may we respond with urgency to proclaim your mercy to others.
May we always be credible witnesses to mercy, professing it and living it as the core of the revelation of Jesus Christ.
May we never tire of extending mercy, and be ever patient in offering compassion and comfort.
May we become the voice of every man and woman, and repeat confidently without end:
“Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old” (Psalm 25:6).
Amen.
