Miłosierdzie boże w nauczaniu ojca świętego Jana Pawła II
Divine mercy in the teaching of the holy father John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: The truth about the Divine Mercy, which is the central subject of John Paul II’s pontificate, appeared in his teaching at the beginning of his pontificate in the encyclical letter Dives in misericordia (1980). Together with Redemptor hominis (1979) and Dominum et vivificantem (1986) this papal document is a part of a great dogmatic trilogy, where the pope speaks to a contemporary man about God who reveals himself to man as the Holy Trinity – Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Mercy is a key to understand the mystery of God and man. According to John Paul II the truth about the Divine Mercy is the central element of the mission which the disciples got from their Lord. It includes the profession of faith in merciful God and worshiping him through courageous and hopeful look into future. It is carried out by proclaiming the Divine Mercy in liturgy of the Word, Eucharistic celebration and sacrament of reconciliation which are the sources of mercy for man.
