La dimensione soteriologica ed antropologica dell’enciclica Dives in misericordia di san Giovanni Paolo II
Soteriological and anthropological scale of St John Paul II’s Dives in misericordia Encyclical Letter

Summary/Abstract: This consideration is focused on the salvation meaning of mercy in human life and on the relationship between mercy and social justice. Pope John Paul II in a new way showed the theological, soteriological and anthropological scale of truth in God’s mercy and its existential and social consequences. God, revealed through Jesus Christ, shows himself as a merciful father, who is willing to forgive our sins and share our suffering. God’s mercy promotes mercy in human being too. In this way it turns into an internal strength to fulfill love everyday, which displays itself as moral maturity and apostolate attitude. Mercy protects human dignity and basic equality of all social persons. It amends justice and promotes social development.
