"In a special way the Psalms bring to the fore the grandeur of his merciful action." - Pope Francis
The Psalms have a strong attraction - to believers and nonbelievers alike - because they reflect our deepest experiences as human beings. they are full of the highs and lows of everyday life, the triumphs and losses, our strengths and weaknesses, the beautiful and the painful. They also point to our human search for amerciful and loving God. Praying with these ten Psalms of Mercy will help us come more deeply into God's presence, and reveal God's mercy and tenderness for each one of us.
This book is one in a series of eight, promulgated by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization, which are the official catechetical resources for the Jubilee Year of Mercy (December 8, 2015 - November 20, 2016). Pope Francis will be speaking on these themes in his weekly catechesis throughout the year. ""At time we are called to gaze even more attentively on mercy so that we may become a more effective sign of the Father's action in our lives."" -- Pope Francis
