SAINTS FOR THE YEAR OF MERCY

From December 8, 2015, to November 20, 2016, the church observed a Jubilee Year of Mercy declared by Pope Francis. Mercy, a fruit of charity, is the loving kindness and compassion shown to one who offends us (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1829, Glossary). We are merciful when we put kindness, compassion, and forgiveness into practice. See the list below to read about Saints of the Church who have been disciples of God’s mercy:
