The Quality of Mercy

Description

‘Pope Francis has invited us all to celebrate a Jubilee Year of Mercy. It is a call which is widely welcomed and which is touching a deep need within all of us. The Year invites us to explore, embrace and celebrate many different aspects of God’s unfailing mercy.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation, so clearly presented in this book, is the greatest gift of the Lord. It is given so that we will indeed reflect on the wonder of God’s love for us, then, in that light, reflect on our own lives with all our shortcomings, and then come to receiving the merciful forgiveness of our loving father. This is indeed the springboard for full Christian Living.’
Cardinal Vincent Nichols
