May your time of Jubilee ring through the earth in notes of faith, in words of hope, in a song of love. Marie Louise, Anna, Bernie, Cáit, Helena.

Greetings and blessings to all our Sisters in Mercy from all the Federation Sisters

Mercy
May you meet mercy each day:
in the light of your own heart,
at the hands of your loved ones,
in the eyes of the stranger.
And if by chance you do not at first meet it,
then search your heart for it,
listen patiently for word of it,
and it will tap you on the shoulder,
a quiet surprise,
a small gesture
the tender look
given and received
in the encounters of your day
Mary Wickham rsm (2002)

In this year of the Silver Jubilee of Mercy International Centre, we send greetings to our Mercy Family worldwide for a joyous and peaceful celebration.
We ask the Lord of Mercy to help us to appreciate all the graces and blessings of the last twenty five years.
May He continue to bestow many special blessings on each one in the next phase of our journey as we strive to bring Catherine’s vision of healing and mercy to our troubled world. the Sisters of the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy, UK

This Mercy Day we pray~
God of Mercy
you graced Mary to be
Woman and Mother of Mercy.
Jesus, your Son, learned from her
tender-hearted compassion
and the practice of mercy.
Following her example
may we seek ways to live courageously
the call of the Gospel
in the reality of our world by~
~ensuring that the dignity of people, especially the poor, displaced and vulnerable, is respected
~supporting people who are suffering violence, abuse, disadvantage and exclusion
~engaging in respectful care of Earth and the sustainable use of her resources ,br> for it is in every word, with every gesture, by every creation, through every means that the living gospel of mercy is life for the world.
Be life!
Mercy Day blessings!
the Sisters of Mercy Brisbane, along with our partners, associates and friends in Mercy

In mercy

wish each of the Sisters, Associates and Colleagues,

Sisters of Mercy North Sydney

Change one thing ~ Change everything! This butterfly effect is visible in the life of this building we call the wellspring of Mercy. One hundred ninety-two years ago, the Centre was built, and God’s mercy found yet another way to enter our world. Twenty-five years ago, the Centre was renovated – Catherine’s way of mercy sown around the world knew the time had come to gather again. Three years ago, in this house, Mercy Global Presence became yet another way to name mercy in a world endangered by exclusion, degradation and displacement. One year ago, from this house, MIA’s new Vision Statement called Sisters, associates, colleagues and partners in Mercy to imagine Mercy Global Presence as a creative energy in the globalization of compassion for Earth and all created beings. These ordinary moments of building and renovating a house have been changing everything. In our congregations and institutes, in our ministries and places of community, and in our personal lives, the ordinary decisions we make every day are changing everything. The Scriptures remind us that this is indeed God’s way, “The steadfast love of our God never ceases; God’s mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning” (Lam 3:22-23).
On this Mercy Day, we rejoice that we belong to this way of Mercy in a time of awareness that all is connected – everything any one of us does makes a difference. God’s message brought by a butterfly is precious indeed!
¡Feliz día de la misericordia! Happy Mercy Day! Sisters Elizabeth, Diane, Betty and Eileen for All our Sisters in Canada and in Peru

May the blessing of Mercy unity and interconnectedness continue
to call us forth to serve our suffering world.
May the God of Mercy, Wisdom and Mystery accompany us with an
ever-evolving consciousness and lead us fully to answer the call of Jesus
“that all may be one”.
May we continue to hold one another in prayer as we serve God’s people
who suffer the systemic injustices of racism, anti-immigration,
degradation of earth, poverty and violence.
May we be the voice and presence of MERCY and address the root causes of injustice
wherever we find ourselves in ministry and echo the voice of Catherine
“the poor need help today”
Que la bendición de la unidad e interconexión de la Misericordia continúe
para seguir inspirándonos a servir a nuestro mundo que sufre.
Que el Dios de Misericordia, sabiduría y misterio nos acompañe con una
consciencia siempre creciente y nos guíe a responder plenamente a la llamada de Jesús,
«que todos sean uno».
Que continuemos sosteniéndonos en oración mientras servimos al pueblo de Dios
que sufre las injusticias sistémicas del racismo, antiinmigración, depredación de nuestra Tierra, pobreza
y violencia.
Que seamos la voz y presencia de MISERICORDIA y abordemos las causas que provocan la injusticia
donde sea que nos encontremos en el ministerio y hagamos eco a la voz de Catalina «¡Los empobrecidos
necesitan ayuda hoy!»
¡Feliz Día de la Misericordia!
