37. The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Luke.
Glory to you, O Lord.
The Gospel
38. When all the people asked
John, ‘What must we do?’
he answered, ‘If anyone has
two tunics he must share
with the man who has none,
39. and the one with something
to eat must do the same.’
There were tax collectors
too who came for baptism,
and these said to him,
40. ‘Master, what must we do?’
He said to them, ‘Exact no
more than your rate.’ Some
soldiers asked him in their
turn, ‘What about us? What
41. must we do?’ He said to
them, ‘No intimidation! No
extortion! Be content with
your pay!’
A feeling of expectancy
42. had grown among the
people, who were beginning
to think that John might be
the Christ, so John
declared before
43. them all, ‘I baptise you with
water, but someone is
coming, someone who is
more powerful than I am,
and I am not fit to undo the
44. strap of his sandals; he will
baptise you with the Holy
Spirit and fire. His
winnowing-fan is in his
hand to clear his
45. threshing-floor and to
gather the wheat into his
barn; but the chaff he will
burn in a fire that will never
go out.’ As well as this,
46. there were many other
things he said to exhort the
people and to announce the
Good News to them.

132. Pope Francis desires that the year ‘will
be steeped in mercy, so that we can go
out to every man and woman, bringing
the goodness and tenderness of God!
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!’
133. Extracts from the Bull: Misericordiae Vultus
‘Jesus Christ is the face of the Father’s
mercy. These words might well sum up
the mystery of the Christian faith. Mercy
has become living and visible in Jesus of
Nazareth, reaching its culmination in
him.’ (1)
134. Extracts from the Bull: Misericordiae Vultus
‘I will open the Holy Door on the fiftieth anniversary
of the closing of the Second Vatican Ecumenical
Council. The Church feels a great need to keep this event
alive. With the Council, the Church entered a new phase
of her history. The Council Fathers strongly perceived,
as a true breath of the Holy Spirit, a need to talk about
God to men and women of their time in a more accessible
way.’ (4)
135. Extracts from the Bull: Misericordiae Vultus
‘…the mercy of God is not an abstract idea,
but a concrete reality with which he reveals
his love as of that of a father or a mother,
moved to the very depths out of love for their
child. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that
this is a “visceral” love. It gushes forth from
the depths naturally, full of tenderness and
compassion, indulgence and mercy.’ (6)
136. Extracts from the Bull: Misericordiae Vultus
‘In the parables devoted to mercy, Jesus
reveals the nature of God as that of a
Father who never gives up until he has
forgiven the wrong and overcome
rejection with compassion and mercy.’
(9)
140. Lord Jesus Christ, you have
taught us to be merciful like

told us that whoever sees you
sees Him.
