For an early Christmas present, friends gave me a calendar book with quotes from the Pope Francis’ opener to the Jubilee of Mercy. The journal started on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, when the year dedicated to mercy did. And so I’ve been going through The Face of Mercy one sentence at a time, and not necessarily in order, making it a different kind of meditation than sitting with the document, focusing on paragraphs or sections, with the ability/temptation to skip or rush through.

Read the article “Expert Advice on Living the New Year of Mercy: A Jubilee Symposium” on catholicpulse.com.
