On the occasion of the conclusion of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.
Published on November 20, 2016, at the close of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, Misericordia et Misera is an apostolic letter of Pope Francis that reflects on the centrality of mercy in Christian life and its application in the Church and the world.
Misericordia et Misera marks the continuity of Pope Francis' emphasis on an open, welcoming, and merciful Church, calling Christians to become living instruments of compassion and forgiveness. His message remains relevant in the Church's effort to bring mercy to all, especially those most remote and in need.
