DOORS TO MERCY

HOLY WEEK RECOLLECTION 2016

 Call to Silence
Awareness of Gods Presence
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and
your dreams. Think not about your frustrations,
but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern
yourself not with what you have tried and
failed in, but what it is still possible to do. Now
is the time to put aside past and present
setbacks and failures and look with confidence
to a new day called tomorrow.
Pope John XXIII

SCRIPTURE READING
If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any
consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any
compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be
of the same mind, having the same love, being in full
accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish
ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as
better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to
your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let
the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.
(Phil. 2:1-5)
