Mercy - how to open ourself to receive god's mercy

1. A time of reflection
of
the Holy Year of Mercy

2. "Behold,
I stand at the door and
knock;
if any one hears My voice,
and opens the door,
I will come in to them,
and will sup with them,
and they with Me".
Revelation 3: 20

3. An image of
the Holy Year of Mercy
is the open door –
the Door of Mercy –
open to all …
but our reflection today
invites us to begin
by thinking about
a closed door…

4. It is clear that this door
has not been opened
in a long, long time.
The weeds are thick…
and dead…

5. But, if we look closely,
we can see that they were,
at one time,
grasses and flowers –
full of life and beauty

6. But time has passed
and what was alive
is now dead –
and dry –
a tangle of stems
and empty seed heads.

7. Where have the “flowers”
and living grasses of my life
become dead
and dry
and empty?

8. Jesus brings light
to the world.
Jesus is the Word
who gives a light to our path.
How does Jesus
bring light to my life?

9. But Jesus does not force
his light – or his presence
on anyone
He knocks –
and he waits…
What does the idea of Jesus’ courtesy
mean to me?
That he knocks –
and waits –
for me?

10. The door itself has no handle…
It can only be opened
from the inside.
What stops me fully opening the door
of my life to Jesus?
What stops people
‘opening their doors’
to the Lord?

11. In this Holy Year of Mercy,
Pope Francis and every Bishop opened
the “Holy Door” – a Door of Mercy
Around the world, other “Holy Doors of
Mercy” will be opened
to welcome sinners
and all in need of mercy…
The door is open…

12. Around the world, other “Holy Doors of
Mercy” will be opened
How can I prepare
to walk through it
to meet the God of Mercy
who waits for me?
How can I help others
to clear away the weeds
and things that get in their way so that
they can walk through the Door of
Mercy –
to Mercy?

13. Pray

14. Be charitable

16. Rejectall Sinfulness
vices,Say “NO” to it,“U
can overcome”for
nothing is impossible

come to your
rescue
