All people of goodwill have been invited by Pope Francis to join the Catholic Church in observing this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy which he has initiated, under the theme: “Merciful Like the Father”. It is taken from the Beatitudes. Jesus said in His Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”.
