Missionary of Mercy: called to be icons of Church's
embrace
Vatican Radio) Fr. John Paul
Mary of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word is just one of the many
hundreds of priests commissioned on Ash Wednesday evening as a Missionary of
Mercy. He spoke with Ann Schneible for Vatican Radio about the significance of
his new mission for himself and in the life of the Church and the world.
“Every priest, per se,
is a missionary of mercy,” said Fr. Mary, “but I think [Pope Francis] wanted to
call a specific group of priests – I think – really to emphasize to other
priests that we are all missionaries of mercy.” Fr. Mary went
on to say, “I think [Pope Francis] is using this as an opportunity to
evangelize priests.”
