Praying in the time of uncertainty due to covid-19
"Merciful Like the Father"
Pope Francis announced in March, 2015 his intention to proclaim a holy year as a way for the Church to "make more evident its mission to be a witness of mercy." Announcing the Jubilee of Mercy, which began on December 8, the Pontiff said: "Do not forget that God forgives all, and God forgives always."
The motto, "Merciful Like the Father," he said, "serves as an invitation to follow the merciful example of the Father who asks us not to judge or condemn but to forgive and to give love and forgiveness without measure."
The image, created by Jesuit Father Marko Rupnik, also shows one of Jesus' eyes merged with the man's to show how "Christ sees with the eyes of Adam, and Adam with the eyes of Christ."

the year of grace and of faith
In Adelaide, we continue the Year of Grace together with the Year of Faith. "As we continue to navigate the Year of Grace and Faith we can make use of this time to once more go through the door of faith, into the open loving arms of Christ who welcomes all and revitalises our faith. … Grace is the key word, and through Grace alone will we be able to acquire the faith needed to say with Thomas, “My Lord and My God!"
