2016: Works of Mercy

     Pope Francis has deemed the Jubilee Year of 2016 as the year of Works Of Mercy.  During this year, which starts on November 2015 and ends on December 2016, His Holiness has stated that the CORPORAL Works of Mercy are to be especially focused on. Actual methods of helping our families, friends, neighbors, the poor, the marginalized, and the outcast are to be especially guided by the Corporal Works of Mercy. 

     The Corporal Works of Mercy is taken from Matthew 25:31-46??

     Considering all the refugees and immigrants escaping civil war I see GOD in this. He's telling us (as always) to help our brothers and sisters, in Christ. We cannot turn a Blind eye! Too many innocent lives are at risk for death.  How we behave to those in trouble, GOD will judge.

     Since my original write up, the pope has asked the churches to open their doors to the Syrian refugees. The Vatican, itself, has, or it will, take in two families. Each church is to take in at least one refugee family.
