Issue 02
“Mercy constitutes the fundamental content of the messianic message of Christ and the constitutive power of His mission. His disciples and followers understood and practiced mercy in the same way. Mercy never ceased to reveal itself, in their hearts and in their actions, as an especially creative proof of the love which does not allow itself to be “conquered by evil,” but overcomes “evil with good.” The genuine face of mercy has to be ever revealed anew. In spite of many prejudices, mercy seems particularly necessary for our times.” - JPtG, Rich in Mercy
Issue 02 is finally here, thank God, thanks to his mercy. Without mercy, we are lost. Today I was told that prisoners on death row do not deserve mercy, and I wondered to myself, “but who does?”
