POPE FRANCIS Message for Lent
2016 “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’: The works of mercy on the Jubilee path.”
The mystery of divine mercy is revealed in the history of the covenant between God and his people Israel. God shows himself ever rich in mercy, ever ready to treat his people with deep tenderness and compassion, especially at those tragic moments when infidelity ruptures the bond of the covenant, which then needs to be ratified more firmly in justice and truth. Here is a true love story, in which God plays the role of the betrayed father and husband, while Israel plays the unfaithful child and bride. These domestic images – as in the case of Hosea (cf. Hosea 1-2) – show to what extent God wishes to bind himself to his people.
REMINDER! LENT 2016
The Pope asks us to show mercy.
Do you remember? The recommended practices for Lent? On 7 February?
Prayer, fasting, almsgiving The seven corporal Works of Mercy? On 14 February? The seven spiritual Works of Mercy? On 21 February? With four weeks still in Lent it is not too late.
