Jubilee Year of Mercy

As this Jubilee Year of Mercy comes to an end, Jesus’s first disciples ask what every age seems to wonder about the end of the world: “Teacher, when will this happen? What sign will there be?” (Luke 21:7). But instead of what we’d like to know, Jesus tells us what we need to know. Don’t be terrified by natural disasters, human violence, personal sufferings. Because God’s mercy abounds, all is grace. “It will lead to your giving testimony” (21:13). So Malachi promises “the sun of justice with its healing rays” (Malachi 3:20a); and Jesus describes how we should welcome the end: “Stand erect and raise your heads, because your redemption is at hand” (Gospel Acclamation, Luke 21:28). Rather than worrying about ourselves and the future’s perils, both Jesus’s gospel and Pope Francis’s Jubilee Year of Mercy bid us go forth to spend our lives proclaiming God’s promise of boundless mercy but also translating God’s mercy into living deeds of unfailing compassion and enduring comfort.

The Art of Dying Well The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales recently launched a new website: www.artofdyingwell.org

The Catholic Church has an interest in helping those faced with the prospect of death and dying. We believe that death opens the way to new life. For us, in dying, we close our eyes for the last time here, in order to be able to really see for the first time there. People in developed countries (in particular) generally don’t like to talk about death, and dealing with it is often something we put off or avoid. It doesn’t have to be this way. This incredibly well-done website contains numerous resources of a practical, pastoral, and theological nature for those in end-of-life situations and loved ones who are journeying with them. Here you can learn more about:

† What is dying well? † Talking about death † Facing death personally † Losing a Loved One † Caring for the Dying † Spiritual Questions † Breaking the Taboo
