St. John Paul II focused on mercy in his teaching - and he was not alone. For over a hundred years, the Church has been guided by popes who encouraged us to meditate on Christ, the center of mercy. Now in Mercy in the Teachings of the Popes, we can treasure a collection of teachings of popes:

Pius XI
Pius SII
John SSIII
Paul VI
Benedict SVI
John Paul II
Francis

These popes teachings include subjects like:

The source of divine mercy
Mary, mother of mercy
Mercy, the life of the Church
and much more

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
