“The mercy of God is his loving concern for each one of us. He feels responsible; that is, he desires our wellbeing and he wants to see us happy, full of joy, and peaceful. This is the path which the merciful love of Christians must also travel. As the Father loves, so do his children. Just as he is merciful, so we are called to be merciful to each other.”
Pope Francis, Misericordiae Vultus, (Bull of Indiction for Yr of Mercy) No. 9. http://www.im.va/content/gdm/en/giubileo/bolla.html
