St Mary's The Wednesday Word- Mercy
Dear Parents and Carers,
This Sunday we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. In
In life, we all make mistakes, but we never have to be
this Sunday’s Gospel, the leaders, the soldiers and the
afraid to ask God for forgiveness — God is pure mercy.
people all mock Jesus as God’s Chosen One and as king.
Jesus’ kingship is not one of military or political power, but
one of love and mercy. Jesus forgave those who crucified him. He also showed mercy to the criminal who was sorry
and called him to share in his kingdom – an offer Jesus
also makes to us today.
In life, we all make mistakes, but we never have to be
afraid to ask God for forgiveness — God is pure mercy.
Each one of us receives mercy as a gift from God, and
it is a gift we are called to share with others too.
Enjoy a special time together this evening exploring
this Sunday’s Gospel and this Wednesday’s word,
which is MERCY.
