And so it begins...

Francis' "extraordinary year of mercy"

in which :

• God seeks out everyone to personally encounter them

• Mercy comes before Judgement

• Vatican II encountered the world

If Francis' words sound a lot like Abraham Heschel's...

...it's because Francis' core teachings
come straight out of Hasidism!

Francis is going to save the world with his mercy!
