A Year of Mercy: Inspiring Words from Pope Francis

"Dear brothers and sisters, I have often thought of how the Church may render more clear her mission to be a witness to mercy; and we have to make this journey. It is a journey which begins with spiritual conversion. Therefore, I have decided to announce an Extraordinary Jubilee which has at its center the mercy of God. It will be a Holy Year of Mercy. We want to live in the light of the word of the Lord: 'Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful' (cf. Lk 6:36)."
â€”Pope Francis, from his announcement of 2016 as a Holy Year of Mercy

Only a few years into his papacy, Pope Francis has spoken and written many times on the theme of mercy, going so far as to call it â€œthe Lordâ€™s most powerful message.â€ Published in partnership with the Vatican, A Year of Mercy celebrates the Jubilee year of 2016 with a collection of his most moving words on the subject of mercy.

These bite-sized quotes bring the pontiffâ€™s warm, accessible style to bear on the message of Godâ€™s love and his infinite capacity for forgiveness if we simply lay our sins before him. Pope Francis addresses not only Godâ€™s mercy for his people, but also our own duty to be merciful to our fellow sinners: â€œLet us be renewed by God's mercy, let us be loved by Jesus, let us enable the power of his love to transform our lives too; and let us become agents of this mercy, channels through which God can water the earth, protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish.â€

This wonderful collection is sure to bring hope and comfort to all who read it. Give it as a heartfelt gift or use it as a yearlong companion to renew and reaffirm your own trust in Godâ€™s infinite mercy.
