Synopsis

"The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel. - Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel, 114

A Year of Mercy with Pope Francis will draw you into God's unfailing mercy, strengthening, healing and equipping you to fulfill his plan for your life. Spend a few minutes every day with the Holy Father as you read a brief meditation by him followed by a few reflection questions designed to help you ponder and receive God's love.

These bite-sized quotes and engaging questions will fit easily into your busy schedule. But what a powerful few minutes they will be!

God doesn't tire of us, Pope Francis has said, but "we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy." Join him in exploring the infinite love and unfailing compassion of the God who is always "there first," ready to receive and embrace us.

Review

It's important to read Pope Francis in his own words. This book will help you walk with the Holy Father each day, be inspired by his message and take on the heart of a Christian disciple. - Edward Sri, author of Pope Francis and the Joy of the Gospel: Rediscovering the Heart of a Disciple

A Year of Mercy with Pope Francis is awesome. Want to grow in your relationship with our Lord? Turn to God's mercy! Let these daily meditations from Pope Francis allow you to experience the mercy of God and show you how to give God's mercy to others. - Matt Fradd, Founder of ThePornEffect.com

Jesus didn't say 'ponder me.' He said 'follow me.' Christianity isn't a theory. It's a way of life. Kevin Cotter helps us apply the genius of Pope Francis to our lives in practical ways. Take this simple book to heart and it can change your life." - Chris Stefanick, President of Real Life Catholic
