VATICAN CITY — Tears, prayers, caresses — but most of all, listening — were the hallmarks of Pope Francis’ “Mercy Friday” visits during the Year of Mercy.
As the jubilee began last December, Pope Francis said he would ditch the media one Friday afternoon each month and personally try to give life to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
Throughout the year, he used his weekly general audiences and monthly Saturday jubilee audiences to teach about the reality of God’s mercy and the obligation of sharing mercy with others.
