Be Disciples of Mercy: This year at our Novena of Masses and during our Novenas on very Saturday, we have been talking and preaching on ‘Amoris Laetitia’ (Joy of Love).
This document also invites the priests to grapple with marriages that are going through challenging time or marriages that out of the exceptions – like divorced and remarried and many other issues.
The Church is calling us to be merciful and compassionate towards our brothers and sisters and to support them in the difficult passages of their life situations. We try not to judge them or condemn or gossip, but to help them be part of our community that understands people when they go through these pains and how we can gradually welcome them back into the community.

People who are in pain and who are in difficult marriages are still our sisters and brothers. Let us pray for them and be disciples of mercy and love.
