The Popes Prism . . . Catching up on my BBC Radio Four listening, and I am simultaneously humbled, somewhat broken, yet immensely encouraged by a broadcast about Pope Francis that I missed on Thursday (I think). The entire programme is heartwarming, but I was, and am, particularly moved by these words from various people talking about the pontiff: He talks about mercy and he talks about compassion. [He talks about, when referring to God] the most merciful, the most compassionate. [He talks about] the mercy of God. Hes full of mercy. This God is a merciful God. And (my favourite): What he appears to be saying is, there are different ways of interpreting the doctrine and my way of doing it is through the prism of mercy and forgiveness. For those of us who know what it is to stand in need of mercy, these comments are as water to the thirsty. God bless Pope Francis.
