It was St. Ambrose who said, "Nothing graces the Christian soul so much as mercy." Our beloved Pope Francis, for whom mercy is a central element of his personal and spiritual experience, has declared the upcoming year, "The Year of Mercy".
Starting on December 8, 2015 (Feast of the Immaculate Conception), the current "Year of Consecrated Life" will usher in a Holy Year and an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. Mercy is certainly the most beautiful of God's attributes, and one that has touched everyone in some way.
