In our search for virtues, Pope Francis declared this liturgical year an
extraordinary year of mercy. This is extraordinary as ordinarily, jubilee year is
celebrated every 25 or 50 years which apparently is not the case in our celebration.
In consideration of the world’s dire need of forgiveness and mercy, the Pope has call
us not to get tire of asking for forgiveness. My research tells me that reserved sins,
including abortion, no matter how morbid or how unacceptable in our so-called
morals, Pope Francis has granted all the priest to absolve such sins. Never mind the
traditional clergy who still discriminates, never mind the so-called morally upright
people who sees themselves pure and uncorrupted. God teaches us to just knock,
and His doors will open.
In this jubilee year of mercy, the formation provided that is oriented towards
the virtues of mercy, compassion and forgiveness becomes relevant. Catholic schools
should let the educational endeavor be guided by a constant promotion of these
virtues. No matter how strong the faith of a person might be, without a certain
degree of practice in the virtues, it will be hard not to be led exclusively by the
emotions and impressions that constantly enter our minds. It is the only way to
enable the student to beat out a coherent path of life.
Thank you.
