Don't Do Witness, Be A Witness by RENEW International

In declaring a Year of Mercy, Pope Francis challenged us to do what he calls mercy-ing. He describes mercy as more than being merciful but actually doing an act of mercy. I am signing up for a 40-day Lenten challenge: mercy-ing. Will you join me?

Un desafío para los cuarenta días de la Cuaresma: "Misericordear" by RENEW International

Este 8 de diciembre comenzó el Jubileo Extraordinario de la Misericordia, en la solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción, y concluirá el 20 de noviembre de 2016, con la Solemnidad de Cristo Rey del Universo. El año del Jubileo se inició con un gran gesto: la apertura de la Puerta de la Misericordia, en la Basílica de San Pedro, en Roma.

The extraordinary jubilee Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis began on December 8, 2015 on the feast of the Immaculate Conception during the second week of Advent. The call to receive God’s unconditional mercy, give mercy, and be witnesses of mercy is a call to Advent action. What better way to prepare to receive Christ anew in our hearts and homes this Christmas than to perform an Advent action of mercy.
