Misericordia et Misera
Misericordia et Misera (Mercy and Misery) is Pope Francis' apostolic letter in which he concludes the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy. He returns to the central theme contained in the document Amoris Laetitia , in asking the Church to "regard all human problems from the standpoint of God’s love, which never tires of welcoming and accompanying." The Holy Father explains how we are called to live out mercy in both its corporal and spiritual dimensions. No one is excluded from such charity as we strive to serve our brothers and sisters in imitation of Christ. He writes in part: "Now is the time to unleash the creativity of mercy, to bring about new undertakings, the fruit of grace. The Church today needs to tell of those ‘many other signs’ that Jesus worked, which ‘are not written’ (Jn 20:30), so that they too may be an eloquent expression of the fruitfulness of the love of Christ and the community that draws its life from Him.
