The Meaning of Lent Fr Ivano Millico
£9.50 LF76 A6 Pack of 50 Leaflets 16pp EAN 506 0 13900 072 7
Lent is more than forty days of repentance. It is a journey full of meanings and graces, projecting us to the joy of Pentecost, passing through the waters of Baptism at Easter. By reflecting on our baptism, the dialogue of faith and the Gospel ‘scrutinies’, our Lenten journey takes on a new dimension, and so does our prayer, fasting and almsgiving, as we experience the joy of passing from death to life, from slavery to freedom in Christ Jesus.
“We can understand so many things simply by seeing someone barefoot in the street on a cold morning, or by contemplating the Lord nailed to the cross - for me!” Only a Church capable of attentive concern for all those who knock on her door can speak to them of God. This is the message from Pope Francis. His pastoral advice is based on his understanding of our human condition and God’s unfailing mercy. In this latest title Pope Francis offers three meditations which represent a ‘Summa Theologiae’ on the theme of mercy and reveal his own profound love for Jesus, as well as his burning desire that we will all come to acknowledge God’s grace and mercy in our lives and, as a result, be authentic witnesses to the faith by imitating the example of Christ – the good shepherd.
The Joy of Mercy Pope Francis
£2.95 Do924 A6 Paperback Booklet 176pp ISBN 978 1 78469 129 5
‘Turning our gaze to God, merciful Father, and to our brothers and sisters in need of mercy, means focusing our attention on the essential contents of the Gospel: Jesus, Mercy made flesh, who renders the great mystery of the Trinitarian Love of God visible to our eyes.’ Pope Francis has made mercy a central theme of his pontificate, and in these reflections seeks to explore more deeply God’s mercy and his love for the world. He explores the meaning of mercy from Genesis to the Resurrection and beyond, to the role of God’s people in carrying out works of mercy, asking how we can live mercy, experience it and act as witnesses to God’s mercy in our lives.

Pope Francis proclaims a new ‘Time of Mercy’ opening up before humanity, a cultural revolution to displace the all-pervasive indifference of modern society: a new and joyful ‘culture of mercy’. Here is a clear and prophetic roadmap for our future, for individuals, communities, societies and the human family itself. New initiatives and points of emphasis are proposed to open up our hearts to the all-loving God and, in turn, to each other – to build our lives on mercy.
