Pope Francis on Mercy
I think we too are the people who, on the one hand, want to listen to Jesus, but
on the other hand, at times, like to find a stick to beat others with, to condemn
others. And Jesus has this message for us: mercy. I think — and I say it with
humility — that this is the Lord's most powerful message: mercy.
