The Mystery of Mercy

jubilee-year-of-mercy“We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy.  It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace. Our salvation depends on it.

Mercy: the word reveals the very mystery of the Most Holy Trinity.

Mercy: the ultimate and supreme act by which God comes to meet us.

Mercy: the fundamental law that dwells in the heart of every person who looks sincerely into the eyes of his brothers and sisters on the path of life.

Mercy: the bridge that connects God and man, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever despite our sinfulness.”

–Pope Francis Bull of Indiction of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy
