Prayer
Living Mercy in These Times
While we are all facing enormous challenges during this time, the video below produced by the Institute of Sisters of Mercy ‘Living Mercy in these Times’ is a reminder that the Mercy spirit is active and alive.
The short video (2mins 50 sec) commences with a letter from Catherine McAuley which shows that the early sisters were called upon to respond to the epidemics that occurred in their lifetime with the same Mercy spirit we are being asked to embrace today. In our response to this current crisis, we stand on the shoulders of the many Mercy women and men who faced and overcame similar challenges.
Dear Lord
With the world more than ever in need of Mercy, we pray that we all remember that in these troubled times we are all part of bringing Mercy to our world through our individual acts and that we are members of one large supportive Mercy community.
Amen
