St. John Paul’s Witness A Cry for the Mercy of God!

I recall the day St. John Paul II passed away. APRIL 2, 2005, millions of people over the world mourned his death, as the bells of St. Peter’s Square somberly tolled continuously mourning his passing. If one listened, one could here the voice of our saint over the tolling bells with his admonition to all of us:
Be not Afraid!

“Unceasingly the Church implores from God mercy for everyone. At no time and in no historical period — especially at a moment as critical as our own eighteen years after his death in 2023 — can the Church forget this prayer that is a cry for the mercy of God amid the many forms of evil which weigh upon humanity and threaten it.
“The more the human conscience succumbs to secularization, loses its sense of the very meaning of the word ‘mercy,’ as it moves away from God, and distances itself from the mystery of mercy, the more the Church has the right and the duty to appeal to the God of mercy with loud cries!”
