What is Mercy? – Mercy Mission (Part I of III)

What is Mercy?
Mercy Mission (Part I of III)

Father Michael Najim preached this “Mercy Mission” in March prior to Holy Week over the course of three days.  And, he has graciously shared it with us in order that we might share it with you. Today, we will bring you the first part of the “Mercy Mission”.  It will be followed in the next two days with part two and part three.

For part one of the “Mercy Mission”, Father Najim’s talk begins at 13:45 with a Gospel reading and ends at 41:26. But, you may certainly watch the entire video if you like. We apologize, in advance, for ads which we were unable to remove, and we ask your mercy! It’s the only way we could bring you this excellent resource.

During his talk, you will hear Father Najim mention a few references.  So, we’ve included some of these references below the actual video itself.

  • Misericordiae Vultus — Papal Bull of Indiction of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy
