Face of Mercy : A Splendid Model for a Meaningful Christian Existence !
From the very beginning
of his papacy, Pope Francis has been emphatically conveying one and only one
message without any compromise. His message has become very clear over the
years: The face of God is Mercy and the name of God is Mercy. Even one of his
famous books is entitled: “The Name of God is Mercy”
It is all the more
interesting to observe that the message of Pope Francis has become an impetus
and a catalyst to renew the spirit of the church of Jesus and to transform the
world around us. By this time, Pope has succeeded in setting a tone of mercy
and compassion in the sits-in-leben of the Catholic Church.
As a result, the year
of Mercy was inaugurated on the Feast of the
Immaculate Conception (December 8),
2015, and would long till the Feast of Christ the King (November 20), 2016. And, we are living out
the true spirit of the year of mercy…
It is really befitting
that “the angel of Mercy, Mother Theresa, an albenian nun who transformed the
streets of Culcutta with her unbounded mercy and love, is going to be canonized
on the coming September 4th, a day before her 19th death
anniversary.
Let us not forget that
“the measure of divinity in humanity is always measured by the acts of charity”
and hence let us try to creatively and positively respond to the needs of the
suffering people around us.
