Mercy Day
Christmas Greetings from Mercy Congregations and Institutes, Mercy Communities, Sisters, Associates and partners-in-Mercy across the Mercy world
As the year Dedicated to Consecrated Life draws to an end and the Jubilee Year of Mercy connects us in a new way, we send this Celtic blessing to the Mercy Family around the world:
'May peace and prosperity be the first to lift the latch on your door
And the Christ Child be guided to your home
by the light of the Christmas candle.'
The Union of the Sisters of Mercy (Great Britain)
Wishing all a happy and blessed Christmas and lasting joy, hope and good health in 2016.
Warmest wishes Marleen Flaherty.
To each of you in the Community of Mercy, At Christmas time and always may the love of our God of Mercy surround you and your loved ones.

To Mercy Sister, Associates, Volunteers and Mercy Friends,
Catherine, through our prayers to Our Lord, may He bless each one of us and fill our hearts with His Peace this Christmas. May we also remember those who are suffering around Our World at this Christmas as we pray for Peace in Our World. My prayer is for all to have a blessed Christmas and New Year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all though out the world
God Bless
