Let us remember with gratitude the cloistered and monastic religious who pray for the Church and the world.

We entrust the life of the Church, all humanity, and the entire cosmos to the Lord, asking him to pour out his mercy upon us.

May the balm of mercy reach everyone, both believers and those far away, as a sign that the Kingdom of God is already present in our midst!

Today we close the Holy Door thanking God for having granted us this extraordinary time of grace.

May the Jubilee of Mercy, which concludes today, continue to bear fruit in the hearts and works of believers.

God’s mercy toward us is linked to our mercy toward our neighbour.

If you want a heart full of love, be merciful!

It is not enough to experience God’s mercy in one’s life; whoever receives it must also become a sign and instrument for others.

We don’t have to go far or come up with grand projects to be charitable. Often the people closest to us could use our help.

If every one of us, every day, does a work of mercy, there will be a revolution in the world!

In a world which has been damaged by the virus of indifference, the works of mercy are the best antidote.

If you want to find God, seek him where he is hidden: in the neediest, the sick, the hungry, the imprisoned.

I am before the Holy Door and I ask: “Lord, help me to thrust open the door of my heart!”.

Dear Friends, never forget that in our encounter with people in need we meet Jesus himself.

We should never forget about beauty, which humanity needs so much!

May we make God’s merciful love ever more evident in our world through dialogue, mutual acceptance and fraternal cooperation.

Prophecy is saying that there is something truer, more beautiful, greater, of greater good to which we are all called.

No cell is so isolated that it is shut to the Lord. His love reaches everywhere. I pray that each one may open his heart to this love.

Forgiveness is the essence of the love which can understand mistakes and mend them.

Let us be moved by God’s watchful gaze. The one thing he desires is for us to abide like living branches in his Son Jesus.
