| Summary: | To be doers of mercy, we must first receive it as a free and unmerited gift. Beginning from an acknowledgement of the centrality of mercy in the practice of Christian prayer, this paper explores the beatitude of mercy and considers its application to the corporate life of the church. Reflections on the concrete works of mercy are inspired by Pope Francis' beatitudes for the saints of our time. Pour devenir miséricordieux - capables de faire miséricorde, nous avons d'abord à l'accueillir comme un don immérité. Cet article sonde la béatitude de la miséricorde à partir de sa place au cœur de la prière chrétienne, ainsi que son application à la vie corporative de l'Église. Des réflexions sur les œuvres concrètes de la miséricorde s'inspirent des béatitudes pour les saints d'aujourd'hui introduites dans une homélie du pape François. |
