Jubilee Year of Mercy Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time This Jubilee Year of Mercy bids us share our own experience of Jesus' mercy with those on what Pope Francis calls the "peripheries"--people who feel marginalized, even unwelcome--inviting them to come home. But with all this mercy, why today's may- hem? "Do you think I have come to establish peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division" (Luke 12:51). Jesus "breaks down" those "breakups" in painful de- tail--parents, children, even in-laws. "Against" ap- pears eight times in five verses. Jeremiah faced death for bearing witness (Jeremiah 38:4). Can't we bear at least a small share of the sometimes merciless cost of sharing mercy? The Letter to the Hebrews warns us, keep your "eyes fixed on Jesus" and "so great a cloud of witnesses," lest we "grow weary and lose heart" as we run "the race that lies before us" (Hebrews 12:1-3). After all, "for the sake of the joy that lay before him," Jesus "endured the cross" (12:2). Can't we endure our small crosses for the sake of sharing mercy?-Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S.
