The Archbishop of Suva Peter Loy Chong has opened the Holy Door at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Suva.
He told Catholics who were part of a march from the Marist Brothers’ High School ground to the Sacred Heart Cathedral that opening the door of mercy means renewing their commitment in their faith and to start fresh by transforming their lives through God’s mercy.
The significance of opening the door of mercy is believing that those who pass through the door is a gesture of leaving their old lives and are transformed in starting fresh with their lives.
“Mercy is the basic principle of the activity of God and Jesus, so it’s the method that God chooses to meet us or reveal himself to us, and since it’s the basic principle or the nature of God it should also be a guiding principle for us Christians,” Chong said.
“Mercy reveals the very definite plan or the way, the method that God reveals himself to human beings.”
“So we hope that everyone who enters through the door of mercy will be moved and empowered by God’s mercy and become an agent of mercy too,” he said.
