'Everything in Him speaks of mercy. Nothing in Him is devoid of
compassion.' - Pope Francis, Misericordiae Vultus In Graced
Horizons: A Journey through Mercy, Bishop Brendan Leahy explores
the many facets of mercy as illustrated not only in scripture, but
in the writings and 'concrete deeds' of luminaries through the
entire course of Christian history. This book offers an
enlightening analysis of this core Christian value, as first
evinced in the early Church - under the aegis of figures such as St
John Chrysostom and Gregory the Great - then down through the
centuries to the present day. Graced Horizons highlights the
merciful example set by several Christian writers and visionaries,
including the medieval mystics Julian of Norwich and Meister
Eckhart; Sisters of Mercy founder, Catherine McAuley; Edith Stein
and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose unwavering faith in the face of
Nazism still inspires Christians today; and twentieth-century
innovators such as Focolare leader Chiara Lubich and theologian
Karl Rahner. By honing in on the experiences of Christians who have
espoused mercy, often in the most testing of circumstances, Graced
Horizons will galvanise readers into adopting qualities of
forbearance, compassion and gratitude each and every day on their
own journey with Christ.
