Description

This work comes from a conference held at the University of the Holy Cross in Rome, Italy. It serves as a precursor to the Holy Father’s announcement of the extraordinary jubilee Year of Mercy (The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, 2015 through the Solemnity of Christ the King November 20, 2016). Pope Francis has called two Synod meetings of Catholic bishops to the Vatican. They focus on issues of family life and how the Church might use its teachings on mercy to address difficult contemporary family situations, including divorce and remarriage. “The call of Jesus pushes each of us to never stop at the surface of things”, the Pope said. “We are called to look beyond, to focus on the heart to see how much generosity everyone is capable of.” (Homely, Saint Peter’s Basilica, March 12, 2015). With these words of direction and inspiration, the presentations here answer the Holy Father’s call to reflection on family issues and on divorce and remarriage. Written with great intellect and great compassion, their authors call everyone who works in the marriage process to bring Mercy and Justice to each case and at every step of the process. Doing so, we will understand in a deeper way that “Mercy means carrying the burden of a brother or sister and helping them walk.” (Pope Francis, Address, 12 March 2015).
