Misericordia. 12 riflessioni per vivere il Giubileo: Con la consueta sapienza e chiarezza il cardinale Ravasi ci guida mese per mese lungo l'Anno Santo indetto da papa Francesco per approfondire il tema della misericordia. La lettura e il commento di pagine bibliche più o meno note fanno brillare nelle sue diverse iridescenze questa virtù, definita dal pontefice come "l'atto ultimo e supremo con il quale Dio ci viene incontro". Ogni riflessione è corredata da un'illustrazione del pittore e incisore francese Gustave Doré.
With his usual wisdom and clarity Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi month-to-month guide us along the Holy year proclaimed by Pope to explore the theme of mercy. Reading and commenting of biblical pages more or less known sparkling in its various iridescence this virtue, defined by the Pontiff as "the ultimate and Supreme Act by which God comes to meet us." It is no coincidence that the old and New Testaments converge, despite the diversity of languages (Hebrew and Greek), in designating the mercy with words that go in either case at "bowels" paternal, maternal, and to the womb it generates. As if to prove that true love is "visceral", radical, total, absolute. And not for nothing "-the Holy Father-says Ravasi-titled the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee Misericordiae vultus, a face that is precisely to God ... Through these meditations we find also our best face because, as suggested by St. Paul, we must "put feelings of tenderness, kindness, humility, meekness and patience, forbearing one another, and forgiving each other".
