GENERAL AUDIENCE This Extraordinary Year is itself a gift of grace. To pass through Wednesday, 9 December 2015 the Holy Door means to rediscover the infinite mercy of the Father who welcomes everyone and goes out personally to encounter each of Why have a Jubilee of Mercy? them. It is he who seeks us! It is he who comes to encounter us! This will be a year in which we grow ever more convinced of God’s mercy. How much wrong we do to God and his grace when we speak Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good of sins being punished by his judgment before we speak of their being morning, forgiven by his mercy (cf. Saint Augustine, De Praedestinatione Yesterday I opened here, in St Peter’s Sanctorum, 12, 24)! But that is the truth. We have to put mercy before judgment, and in any event God’s judgement will always be in the light Basilica, the Holy Door of the Jubilee of of his mercy. In passing through the Holy Door, then, may we feel that Mercy, after having previously opened it we ourselves are part of this mystery of love, of tenderness. Let us in the Cathedral of Bangui, Central Africa. set aside all fear and dread, for these do not befit men and women who Today I would like to reflect together with are loved. Instead, let us experience the joy of encountering that you on the meaning of this Holy Year, grace which transforms all things. responding to the question: Why have a Jubilee of Mercy? What does Today, here in Rome and in all the dioceses of the world, as we this mean? pass through the Holy Door, we also want to remember another door, which fifty years ago the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council opened The Church is in need of this extraordinary occasion. I am not to the world. This anniversary cannot be remembered only for the saying: this extraordinary occasion is good for the Church. I am saying: legacy of the Council’s documents, which testify to a great advance in the Church needs this extraordinary occasion. In this era of profound faith. Before all else, the Council was an encounter. A genuine changes, the Church is called to offer her particular contribution, encounter between the Church and the men and women of our rendering visible the signs of the presence and closeness of God. The time. An encounter marked by the power of the Spirit, who impelled Jubilee is a favourable time for all of us, because by contemplating the Church to emerge from the shoals which for years had kept her Divine Mercy, which overcomes all human limitations and shines in the self-enclosed so as to set out once again, with enthusiasm, on her darkness of sin, we are able to become more certain and effective missionary journey. It was the resumption of a journey of encountering witnesses. people where they live: in their cities and homes, in their workplaces. Wherever there are people, the Church is called to reach out to them Turning our gaze to God, merciful Father, and to our brothers and sisters and to bring the joy of the Gospel, and the mercy and forgiveness of in need of mercy, means focusing our attention on the essential contents God. After these decades, we again take up this missionary drive with of the Gospel: Jesus, Mercy made flesh, who renders the great mystery the same power and enthusiasm. The Jubilee challenges us to this of the Trinitary Love of God visible to our eyes. Celebrating a Jubilee of openness, and demands that we not neglect the spirit which emerged Mercy is equivalent to placing once again the specific nature of the from Vatican II, the spirit of the Samaritan, as Blessed Paul VI Christian faith, namely Jesus Christ, the merciful God, at the centre of expressed it at the conclusion of the Council. May our passing through our personal life and that of our communities. the Holy Door today commit us to making our own the mercy of the Good Samaritan.

5 6 It is a Holy Year, therefore, so as to live mercy. Yes, dear brothers we were lost” (Homily of First Vespers of Divine Mercy Sunday, 11 and sisters, this Holy Year is offered to us so that we may experience in April 2015): this is the objective that the Church establishes for herself in our lives the sweet and gratifying touch of God’s forgiveness, his presence this Holy Year. In this way we will strengthen in ourselves the certainty beside us and his closeness especially in the moments of greatest need. that mercy can truly help in the edification of a more human world. Especially in our time, in which forgiveness is a rare guest in the spheres This Jubilee, in other words, is a privileged moment for the Church to of human life, the call to mercy is made more learn to choose only “what pleases God most”. What is it that “pleases urgent, and this is so in every place: in God most”? Forgiving his children, having mercy on them, so that they may in turn forgive their brothers and sisters, shining as a flame of society, in institutions, at work and even in the God’s mercy in the the world. This is what pleases God most. St Ambrose, family. in a theological book that he wrote about Adam, takes up the story of Of course, someone could object: the creation of the world and says that each day after God made something “Father, shouldn’t the Church do something — the moon, the sun or the animals — [the Bible] says: “God saw that more this Year? It is right to contemplate the it was good”. But when he made man and woman, the Bible says: “He mercy of God, but there are so many saw that it was very good”. St Ambrose asks himself: “Why does He urgent needs!”. It is true, there is much to say ‘very good’? Why is God so content after the creation of man and do, and I for one never tire of remembering woman?”.Because finally he had someone to forgive. This is beautiful: this. However, we must bear in mind that God’s joy is forgiving, God’s being is mercy. This is why we must open whenever mercy is obliviatedself-love is at our hearts this year so that this love, this joy of God may fill us all with the root. In the world, this takes the form of this mercy. The Jubilee will be a “favourable time” for the Church if we exclusively seeking one’s own interests, learn to choose “what pleases God most”, without giving in to the pleasures and honours joined with the desire to accumulate wealth, temptation of thinking that something else is more important or primary. whereas in the life of a Christian it is often disguised in hypocrisy and Nothing is more important than choosing “what pleases God most”, in worldliness. All of these things are contrary to mercy. Surges of self- other words, his mercy, his love, his tenderness, his embrace and his love, which make mercy a stranger in the world, are so abundant and caresses! numerous that we are often unable to recognize them as limitations and The necessary work of renewing the institutions and structures of as sin. This is why it is necessary to recognize ourselves as sinners, so as to strengthen within us the certainty of divine mercy. “Lord, I am a sinful the Church is also a way that should lead us to make a living and vivifying man; Lord, I am a sinful woman: come with your mercy”. This is a experience of God’s mercy, which alone can guarantee that the Church beautiful prayer. It is an easy prayer to say every day: “Lord, I am a is that city set on a hill that cannot be hid (cf. Mt 5:14). Only a merciful sinner: come with your mercy”. Church shines! Should we forget, for even just a moment, that mercy is “what pleases God most”, our every effort would be in vain, for we Dear brothers and sisters, I hope that, in this Holy Year, each one of would become slaves to our institutions and our structures, inasmuch as us may experience God’s mercy, in order to be witnesses to “what pleases they may be renewed. But we would always be slaves. God most”. Is it naïve to believe that this can change the world? Yes, humanly speaking, it is foolish, but “the foolishness of God is wiser than “To experience strongly within ourselves the joy of having been men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men” (1 Cor 1:25). found by Jesus, the Good Shepherd who has come in search of us because
