Mercy: The Greatest Gift, by Barbara Reed Mason

Mercy: The Greatest Gift. Meeting the Love of Christ. Pope Francis's call for a Holy Year of Mercy begins with a call to spiritual conversion in each of us. What are the spiritual and tangible aspects of mercy? Many Christians today can be unaware that we can keep the supernatural life within us vigorous by engaging with the spiritual works of mercy. This is not a matter of just being good to others only, but of our own salvation. Saint John Paul II said that the greatest gift of mercy is bringing people to savour Christ’s love.
