Keywords: mercy; suffering; richer humanity; faith; meeting with the Merciful One
Summary/Abstract: The presentation is based largely on the teaching and testimony of Pope John Paul II. Particular emphasis was placed on the statement of Pope-Pole that there is no such misery and sin God could not raise up a man from. The message of the reflection seems concrete, positive and valid in the context of the Year of Mercy lived for in Church. It is in harmony with the service of human greater openness to the grace of God's Mercy and entrusting all suffering to Him. The dynamics of the reasoning passes from the look “deeper” of the one who suffers, through his experience of the relationship with the Merciful, to the school of “greater humanity”.
