A Great Mercy Day was Had by All in Dublin!
)
Mercy Day Celebrations yesterday at Baggot Street were just wonderful!
Fine weather and a warm welcome meant a full house of Sisters of Mercy and partners-in- Mercy gathered in the chapel for a joyful celebration of Eucharist, then in the International room for the launch of the new visually rich, technically advanced Mercyworld.org website, followed by a delicious ‘good cup of tea’ served in both the dining room and heritage area. Across the Mercy world, Sisters of Mercy and partners-in-Mercy gathered in communities and ministries to join in the events of the day via live-stream.

The Bottom Line
‘If the music of the Gospel ceases to resonate in our very being, we will lose the joy born of compassion, the tender love born of trust, the capacity for reconciliation that has its source in our knowledge that we have been forgiven and sent forth’
