Weekly Reminders from the USCCB regarding the Dignity of All Life
 
Mercy brings healing that is impossible on a merely human level. Divine Mercy can restore hope, because it flows from the heart of the Risen Christ who, once and for all, has vanquished the finality of death. The deep truth that faith teaches is that only in the context of mercy—God’s Mercy and our own forgiveness and mercy—can we, as wounded individuals, find healing and hope. ~ Bishop Robert Finn, “Divine Mercy and the Death Penalty,” USCCB Respect Life Program (2010-2011)
