"Missionary of Mercy" Fr. Panneer Selvam, part 2
This year’s Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season have taken on a special connotation and colour, occurring during the current Jubilee Year of Mercy. Pope Francis marked the beginning of the Church's Lenten journey by sending out several hundred religious and diocesan priests from around the world as "Missionaries of Mercy" to their local churches and communities. At the Feb. 10 Ash Wednesday Mass in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pope officially commissioned 762 priests with the task, empowering them to forgive even the sins that are reserved for the Holy See to pardon. The original plan of the Holy Father was to have just 800 Missionaries of Mercy. But with overwhelming requests from around the world, he ended up choosing over 1,000. Of these, 762 were specially invited to the Vatican for the official ceremony.

May 28 - first liturgical memorial of the Blessed Primate of the Millennium
The first liturgical commemoration after the beatification is so important because we somehow introduce the cult of the new Blessed and invite people to get to know him and pray through his intercession - Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Warsaw, stresses. On Saturday, May 28, at 7 p.m. a Mass will be celebrated at the Warsaw Archcathedral under the Cardinal’s presidency. “We will pray for the canonization of Primate Wyszynski”, says Cardinal Nycz. On the same day in the morning, thirteen deacons of the Warsaw Archdiocese will be ordained to the priesthood in the Shrine of the Divine Providence.
