Mercy has three forms: from God to us, from other people to us and from us to other people. Recall the times when mercy was given or received in your own life. How did it make you feel? The Lord asks us not to judge or condemn others but to forgive. This serves as the basis on which we will be judged. Mercy is the bridge that connects God and the human family, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever in spite of our sinfulness. No one can place limits on the love God has for us. There are many stories in the New Testament where we see God full of joy, especially when people are pardoned. Mercy is a great force that overcomes everything. During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, we must all allow our hearts to be touched! We should use this special year to live, in our daily lives, the mercy which the Father extends to all of us. Listen to the words of Jesus: "Be compassionate as your heavenly Father is compassionate," and "Blessed are those who show mercy for mercy will be shown to them." To encounter Christ is to encounter the mercy of God.
In 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized the great 20th century visionary of Divine Mercy, Sister Faustina Kowalska, and proclaimed the Sunday after Easter to be celebrated annually as Divine Mercy Sunday. In 2006, Pope Benedict stressed that "Divine Mercy is not a secondary devotion, but an integral dimension of Christian faith and prayer." Now Pope Francis has proclaimed an extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, which will begin on December 8, 2015. These three Popes have made it very clear that Divine Mercy is a major part of the Christian faith, and now this powerful new book reveals why. Best-selling author Vinny Flynn continues his popular "7 Secrets" series with a book that brings him back to his roots. Vinny was one of the original editors of the official English edition of the actual Diary of St. Faustina, and he has written and edited a vast number of the Divine Mercy materials that are used today. Through his "secrets" of Divine Mercy, Vinny shows how Divine Mercy is not just another worthy "private devotion"; it is the key devotion, the umbrella devotion over everything else. Every other devotion in the Church, every ritual, every activity, every teaching is under that umbrella of Divine Mercy. It’s all there to help us understand and enter into Divine Mercy. He shows us how everything in our lives can become more meaningful, more powerful, more life-changing once we really embrace the gift of Divine Mercy — the overflow of love from the Holy Trinity. In this compelling and timely book, Flynn draws from Scripture, the teachings of the Church, and the Diary of St. Faustina to not only reveal the heart of Divine Mercy, but to offer you an invitation and a road map so that this mercy can transform your life. If you're not yet convinced of the impact Divine Mercy can have on your life, if you've never heard of this message and devotion, or if you're curious to learn more about it, this book is perfect for you. It shows us all how to respond to the call of Pope Francis "to live lives shaped by mercy", and benefit greatly from the "Year of Mercy".
