On Mercy Day 2020, we gather wherever we are in our Mercy world to celebrate this feast, the day that Sisters of Mercy founder Catherine McAuley opened the first House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin, Ireland.
Teaching, learning, sharing, serving and celebrating our Mercy heritage at this time, all call us to tap the wealth of creativity and step out into uncharted lands and onto uncharted waters where we have discovered new ways to continue being Mercy regardless of the challenges.
Today on Mercy Day, amidst the pandemic and the chaos in our world, we remember Catherine McAuley.
Dear God, Let Catherine who recognized the needs of people who were poor and responded with mercy and compassion serve as an example to us during these turbulent times.
