The encounter of Misery and Mercy

"Conversion is the most concrete expression of the working of love and 

of the presence of mercy 

in the human world."

(quote from encyclical 'Dives in Miseicordia')

"‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and 

I shall cultivate 

the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future. 

If not you can cut it down.’”

(Lk. 13:8-9)
