Book excerpt: "In his encyclical Rich in Mercy (Dives in Misericordia), St. Pope John Paul II demonstrated how God the Father is 'rich in mercy' through a masterful exposition of Scripture, especially the Gospel parable of the Prodigal Son. John Paul II rooted the message of God's mercy in both Scripture and Church Tradition, speaking of how the merciful love of the Father is revealed in Christ as the 'Incarnation of Mercy' and 'the inexhaustible source of mercy.' Further, St. John Paul II, as the Great Mercy Pope, emphasized that 'Christ's messianic program, the program of mercy, ' must become 'the program of the Church.' Particularly in our modern times, the Church has the 'right and duty' to 'profess and proclaim God's mercy, ' to 'introduce it and make it incarnate' in the lives of all people, and 'to call upon the mercy of God, ' imploring it for the whole world. [This text] is essential reading for every Catholic who desires to help carry on the legacy of the Great Mercy Pope."--Back cover

Download or read book Hell and the Mercy of God written by Adrian J. Reimers and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If God is truly merciful and loving, perfect in goodness, how can he consign human beings created in his own image to eternal torment in hell? God's goodness seems incompatible with inflicting horrible evil upon those who oppose his will and defy his law. If to this paradox we add the metaphysical requirement that God be perfect in goodness, the eternal evil of hell seems to be contradictory to God's own nature. Catholic philosopher Adrian Reimers takes on these challenges in Hell and the Mercy of God, drawing on relevant sources from Aristotle to Aquinas, from Dante to Tolkien, from Wagner to John Paul II, along with Billie Holliday, The Godfather, and the music of George Gershwin. He presents a philosophical theology, grounded in Scripture, of the nature of goodness and evil, exploring various types of pain, the seven capital sins, the resurrection of the body, the meaning of mammon, the core meaning of idolatry, the psychology of Satan and those who choose his path, and the moral responsibility of the human person.

Download or read book Divine Mercy and Divine Justice Why Both are Essential to a Catholic Understanding of God written by Robert Stackpole Std and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Stackpole blends together the results of careful reasoning and sensitive attention to the revelation of God, and addresses in a way that may help many with the huge deceptions that are weakening the faith, morality and mission of God's people today. Although the book is academically sound it is written in such a way that the educated Catholic can certainly understand the flow of his argument and greatly benefit from it. He addresses the tough questions: "If God is so merciful, why is there a hell?" "Why was the horrible death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion necessary for our salvation?" "Why do we shy away from facing the truth of the need for punishment - the penal dimension - for our sins?" This is a book that was written with careful attention to the truth and a deep concern for the salvation of souls. It is also a book that took courage to write and for that we are all in Dr. Stackpole's debt. (Ralph Martin, STD, Pres. Renewal Ministries).
