Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio on the Meaning of Mercy

"The Second Vatican Council calls the Eucharist the “Source and Summit” of the Christian life. Yet we must keep in mind that the same council makes clear that the Eucharist is not the sum total of the Christian life.

"Indeed, the Eucharist, and all the sacraments, are memorials of a dramatic act of mercy that occurred not in the serene majesty of the temple liturgy, but in history, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life."

In this reflection, Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio offers some thoughts on mercy and its role in the universal call to holiness.
