Pope Francis proclaims a new 'Time of Mercy' opening up before humanity, a cultural revolution to displace the all-pervasive indifference of modern society: a new and joyful 'culture of mercy'. Here is a clear and prophetic roadmap for our future, for individuals, communities, societies and the human family itself. New initiatives and points of emphasis are proposed to open up our hearts to the all-loving God and, in turn, to each other - to build our lives on mercy.
