In response to the invitation of Pope Francis, we continue on our journey with the Church throughout the world. With his words initiating this Extraordinary Year of Mercy, Pope Frances says:
“We need constantly to contemplate the mysteries of mercy. It is a wellspring of joy, serenity and peace.
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 us, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever despite our sinfulness.”
