Pope Francis’ reflection on the Gospel of Mercy
Vatican City, 6 April 2016
Following the recent cycle of catechesis of the Wednesday general audience, focusing on God's
mercy in the Old Testament, this morning the Holy Father began a reflection on how Jesus brought
this to completion. "Jesus makes visible a love that is open to all, without limits. A pure, gratuitous
and absolute love. A love that culminates in the Sacrifice of the Cross. The Gospel is truly the
'Gospel of Mercy', because Jesus is mercy".
The four Gospels confirm that Jesus, before commencing His ministry, wished to receive baptism
from St. John the Baptist, an event that conveys the orientation of all of Christ's mission. Indeed, He
is not presented to the world in the splendor of the temple, although He could have done so, and
He is not announced by the sound of trumpets and neither does He come in the guise of a judge.
Instead, after thirty years of life hidden away in Nazareth, Jesus went to the river Jordan, along
with many of His people, and He lined up with the sinners to be baptized. Therefore, from the
beginning of His ministry, He presented Himself as the Messiah who takes upon Himself the
human condition, moved by solidarity and compassion".
In the synagogue of Nazareth Jesus reaffirms that everything He achieved after baptism was the
fulfilment of the initial plan: "to bring to all the love of God Who saves", explained the Pope. The
importance of Jesus' gesture is not immediately understood by those who were present on the
banks of the River Jordan, but only by the Father, Who declares "'You are my beloved Son; with
you I am well pleased'. "In this way, the Father confirms the path that the Son has undertaken as
the Messiah, while the Holy Spirit descends upon Him in the form of a dove. Thus, one might say,
Jesus' heart beats in unison with the heart of the Father and of the Spirit, showing all humanity
that salvation is the fruit of God's mercy".
On the Cross we may contemplate even more clearly the great mystery of this love. As He is about
to die, innocent, for us sinners, He implores the Father, "Forgive them, for they know not what they
do". "On the Cross, Jesus presents to God's mercy the sin of the word, and with this all our sins.
Nothing and no-one is excluding from this sacrificial prayer of Jesus. This means that we must not
fear being recognized as and confessing ourselves as sinners, as every sin was brought to the Cross
by the Son. And when we confess and repent, entrusting ourselves to Him, we are sure of being
forgiven. The sacrament of Reconciliation restores to everyone the strength of the forgiveness that
springs from the Cross and renews in our life the grace of mercy that Jesus obtained for us. We
must not fear our miseries: the power of the love of the Crucified is boundless and endless. And
this mercy cancels out our miseries".
In this Jubilee Year, concluded Francis,
"Let us ask of God the grace to experience the power of the Gospel: the Gospel of mercy that
transforms that makes us enter into God's heart that makes us capable of forgiving and
looking to the future, with greater goodness. If we welcome the Gospel of Christ, crucified
and resurrected, all our life will be shaped by the strength of His love that renews".

Living Our Mission Bulletin Announcement
Please post in your bulletin this coming weekend
Let me begin by expressing my deepest gratitude to all of you who have already made a pledge to the
Living Our Mission campaign. In addition to supporting the larger needs of our Church, your generosity
will support the key needs here at our parish.
We need a sacrificial gift from every family in our parish to reach our goal, and there is no gift or pledge
too small to make an impact. Each person in our parish is faced with a different financial situation, and it
is with that in mind that I ask everyone to begin prayerfully considering what their best sacrifice is,
knowing that pledge amounts will vary.
As you heard members of our community share their perspectives on the campaign and ask all families to
consider their commitment, I would like all families in our parish to consider a pledge of $25/month or
higher over the five-year period for a total of $1,500 or higher. Just $25/month over five years adds up
and when we think of a gift this way, it makes it seem possible!
What can a monthly pledge add up to?
The Living Our Mission campaign is a historic, unprecedented effort to position parishes and the Church
throughout the Diocese of Richmond for a strong and vibrant future. It invites the faithful to prayerfully
consider what their best sacrifice is. A decision of faith made in prayer and guided by gratitude, joy, and
love will not only help one’s parish and the larger Church; it will also be a great blessing to the donor.
“For God loves a cheerful giver” (Cor. 9:7).
Monthly Pledge My Sacrifice Equals Total 5-Year
Pledge
$167 $5.56 per day
take out lunch $10,000
$83 $2.78 per day
premium coffee $5,000
$50 $1.67 per day
large soda $3,000
$25 83¢ per day
lottery ticket=$1 $1,500
What is a pledge?
A pledge is a good-faith promise that offers you a way to be generous over a period of time. Pledges are
not legally binding in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
When will I receive reminders to make payments on my pledge?
Unless you indicate that you would like a later start date on your pledge card, you will begin receiving
reminders a few weeks after you make your pledge. You can choose whether to receive those reminders
on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
Is it possible to set up automatic payments for my pledge?
Yes, some donors set up automatic bank draft or credit card payments. Some also send checks or
transfer stock.
To whom should checks be made?
Checks should be made out to “Living Our Mission.”

Do you enjoy refreshments after Mass? Well, they
certainly don’t come down from Heaven and we are in
serious need of volunteers. We need at least one
additional volunteer for the 2nd. Sunday of each month,
and one for the 4th. Sunday of each month. If you can’t
put yourself up for a 12 months commitments, what
about every other month? We would certainly be
sharing the joy of sharing amongst many more
parishioners.
What will you be expected to do:
• Bring mainly pastries
• Help set the table up (and warm food/pastries
as needed)
• Make sure that all goodies are served on the
table, and replenish as needed
• Clean up the tables at the end of the gathering
• Wash dishes and clean the kitchen afterwards
It certainly looks like a lot, but you would not be alone
doing all of the above!!!
Remember,
THE MORE THE MARRIER!
If you are moved to participate,
please contact Pat Morse after mass.
