The Name of God Is Mercy Treatise

By Pope Francis

Following the publication of his first book on Mercy in form of conversations with Vatican reporter Andrea Tornielli—in which he invites all humanity to the Gospel of Mercy, Pope Francis went further in series of General audiences during the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy to delved a little deeper into the great mystery of God’s mercy revealing why the need for forgiveness and for God’s mercy have been his dominant theological refrains, both before and after he became pope.
These profound General Audience Talks on God’s Mercy elaborates how journey of mercy is a responsibility that challenges the conscience and actions of every Christian. Stressing the fact that it is not enough to experience God’s mercy in one’s life but also whoever receives it must also become a sign and instrument for others.

He served as head of the Society of Jesus in Argentina from 1973 to 1979. In 1998 he became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, and in 2001 a cardinal.
