The Spirituality of Mercy According to Pope Francis

Abstract

Thanks to the last popes, especially Francis, a characteristic feature of the Catholic Church in the third millennium is the cult of God's mercy. It requires the formation of appropriate spiritual attitudes, which in contemporary theology of spirituality are described by pointing to their cognitive, axiological-affective, and practical-action aspects.

The theme of mercy permeates the life of the Church so deeply that we can speak not only of the spirituality of mercy, but also of the merciful dimension of Christian spirituality.

The cult of God's mercy is closely related to the liturgy, therefore − especially the Eucharistic liturgy – it also has a merciful dimension. Therefore, shaping the attitudes of mercy has its source in it.

Keywords:

spirituality, mercy, spiritual attitude, liturgy, pope Francis
