Mercy Of Our Mother Mary

POPE Francis concludes his prayer for the Year of Mercy “through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy”. Mothers are remarkable models of mercy: they give life and they nurture life.

Mary the mother of Jesus, shares deeply in the mercy of her Son Jesus. We can always rely on her to help us with her prayers and her love. She too can be a great model for us, because as the Mother of Jesus, she received the great mercy of God our Father and reflected it into the darkness of our world, like the moon reflects the light of the Sun.

So let us follow Pope Francis’ example and pray that Mary, Mother of Mercy, will support us and stand with us as we seek to be “merciful like the Father”.
