Holy Year of Mercy
Pope Francis announced an extraordinary Jubilee, a Holy Year of Mercy, to highlight the Catholic Church’s “mission to be a witness of mercy.” The formal document presenting the proposal for a Holy Year (the Papal Bull of Induction) with the latin title “Misericordiae Vultus—The Face of Mercy, is yet another of Pope Francis’ lucid explanations of Church teaching—it is both comforting and challenging. This Holy Year ran from 8th December 2015 until 20th November 2016. As a first step to getting into the spirit of the year, Misericordiae Vultus could hardly be bettered. As a resource, however, the study pack ‘Rediscovering Mercy’ produced for the Just Faith project, gives a structured programme for groups and can be found on the resource page at http://www.justfaith.org.uk
