While – according to the pamphlet – the most favorable source of propaganda came from the conversion of no- bles and princes, it was also noted that the numerous travelers and foreigners already living in the city were likewise caught in this net. The “Apostates and Spies” were high-profile figures and were well-known throughout Europe. Among them were Gaspar Schoppe, Giusto Calvino, the nephew of the great reformer, who converted during the Holy Year of 1600, the Frenchman Guil- laume Reboul and Johannes Faber, “a Physician at the Hospital of the Holy Ghost.”1 Johannes Faber, a Lincean physician and papal herbalist, was one of Georg Fischer’s interlocutors in Rome to whom he had sent a dozen letters. And it is likely that he intervened with the Holy Office for the releaze from seizure of Cristoforo Pescatore’s inheritance and its transfer to Germany.2 They had lived in Rome during the same period of time, perhaps even met, and Faber would die three years after the goldsmith Cristoforo Pescatore.

Jubilee of Mercy MERCIFUL LIKE THE FATHER PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE NEW EVANGELIZATION USEFUL INFORMATION REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE JUBILEE The Jubilee of Mercy was announced by Pope Francis as a year to be lived intensely in each particular Church, allowing every person to encounter the mercy of God the Father through diligent labor for the Church’s mission there. The most evident sign of this pastoral care is the chance to open a Door of Mercy in every diocese. These doors, analogous to the Holy Doors of the Papal Basilicas in Rome, will permit even people who cannot travel to Rome to make a Jubilee pilgrimage. Doors of Mercy It will be the responsibility of the local Ordinary to decide in which church of the diocese the Door of Mercy will be opened. There should be a Door of Mercy opened in every diocese and eparchy of the world (cfr. MV 3). In addition to the Door of Mercy chosen for the diocese, the diocesan Ordinaries may also permit the opening of other Doors of Mercy at Shrines of particular importance, especially where there is the happy possibility that the many faithful who visit the shrine may always encounter the merciful embrace of the Father in confession (cfr. MV 3). It is good for the extraordinary possibility for the Jubilee indulgence to be recognized by the faithful precisely as an opportunity out of the ordinary, so that they may live it as a time particularly fitting for embarking on the path of conversion. Fostering the proper appreciation for the special sign of the Door of Mercy will facilitate this invitation to conversion.

Testimony of Most Reverend Mario Dorsonville
Written Testimony of Most Reverend Mario E. Dorsonville Auxiliary Bishop of Washington Chair of the Committee on Migration of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship “Immigrants as Essential Workers During COVID-19” 2141 Rayburn House Office Building 2pm Wednesday, September 23, 2020 1 “Now, while we are looking forward to a slow and arduous recovery from the pandemic, there is a danger that we will forget those who are left behind . Now is the time to heal injustice around the world because it undermines the health of the entire human family. The risk is that we may then be struck by an even worse virus, that of selfish indifference. A virus spread by the thought that life is better if it is better for me, and that everything will be fine if it is fine for me . the pandemic reminds us that there are no differences or borders between those who suffer. There must be just sharing among nations and their institutions in order to confront the current crisis in a manner marked by solidarity.” - Pope Francis, Divine Mercy Sunday, Mass at Santo Spirito in Sassia, the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy, April 19, 2020. Thank you to Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and to Ranking Member Ken Buck (R-CO) and members of the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship for this opportunity to submit this written testimony regarding the contributions of immigrants and refugees as essential workers during COVID-19. As chairman of the Committee on Migration for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), I wish to address the importance and value of immigrants and refugees in aiding to the response of our country in combatting the novel coronavirus and COVID-19.

Holy Mass on the Feast of Divine Mercy
N. 200419a Sunday 19.04.2020 Holy Mass on the Feast of Divine Mercy At 11.00 today, in the Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia, the Holy Father celebrated privately the Holy Mass for the twentieth anniversary of the canonisation of Sr. Faustina Kowalska and the institution of Divine Mercy Sunday. The following is the homily pronounced by the Pope during the Eucharistic celebration: Homily of the Holy Father Last Sunday we celebrated the Lord’s resurrection; today we witness the resurrection of his disciple. It has already been a week, a week since the disciples had seen the Risen Lord, but in spite of this, they remained fearful, cringing behind “closed doors” (Jn 20:26), unable even to convince Thomas, the only one absent, of the resurrection. What does Jesus do in the face of this timorous lack of belief? He returns and, standing in the same place, “in the midst” of the disciples, he repeats his greeting: “Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:19, 26). He starts all over. The resurrection of his disciple begins here, from this faithful and patient mercy, from the discovery that God never tires of reaching out to lift us up when we fall. He wants us to see him, not as a taskmaster with whom we have to settle accounts, but as our Father who always raises us up. In life we go forward tentatively, uncertainly, like a toddler who takes a few steps and falls; a few steps more and falls again, yet each time his father puts him back on his feet.

The Holy See
The Holy See BENEDICT XVI REGINA CÆLI Castel Gandolfo Divine Mercy Sunday, 11 April 2010 (Video) Dear Brothers and Sisters, This Sunday concludes the Octave of Easter. It is a unique day "made by the Lord", distinguished by the outstanding event of the Resurrection and the joy of the disciples at seeing Jesus. Since antiquity this Sunday has been called in albis from the Latin name, alba, which was given to the white vestments the neophytes put on for their Baptism on Easter night and took off eight days later, that is, today. Venerable John Paul II entitled this same Sunday "Divine Mercy Sunday" on the occasion of the canonization of Sr Mary Faustina Kowalska on 30 April 2000. The Gospel passage from St John (20: 19-31) is full of mercy and divine goodness. Is recounts that after the Resurrection Jesus visited his disciples, passing through the closed doors of the Upper Room. St Augustine explains that "the shutting of doors presented no obstacle to the matter of that body, wherein the Godhead resided. He indeed could enter without their being opened, by whose birth the virginity of his mother remained inviolate" (In ev. Jo. 121, 4: CCL 36/7, 667); and St Gregory the Great added that after his Resurrection the Redeemer appeared with a Body by its nature incorruptible and tangible, but in a state of glory (cf. Hom. in Evang. 21, 1: CCL 141, 219). Jesus showed the signs of his Passion even to the point of allowing Doubting Thomas to touch him; but how can a disciple possibly doubt? Actually God's indulgence enables us to profit even from Thomas' disbelief, as well as from the believing disciples.

To this, we may add, it is mercy that makes us human. Instead, in a group of migrat- ing animals if one stops because it is tired, sick, or crippled, the others do not wait for it, they do not care, they abandon it. This is unlike us human beings. At the moment when someone falls, something kicks in that is manifested in the soul and in action, that something is hu- man, yet more than human at the same time and that accords another direction, another di- mension on the chain of natural facts. It hap- pens that we stop to wait for the other. This hu- man — yet more than human “thing” —, is mercy: which shows man’s greater face; a divine face. On almost every page in the Gospels, we can find accounts of this face, the face of Christ, the true God and true man, who shows what men are like, like Him, even if they too often forget it.

Development of the Worship of Divine Mercy in Poland and Abroad
PEREGRINUS CRACOVIENSIS Zeszyt 11, 2001 ISSN 1425−1922 Bishop Paweł Socha Development of the Worship of Divine Mercy in Poland and Abroad ivine Mercy is a fundamental subject of the Bible, and is constantly procla imed in the message of the Church. It is studied by theologians and procla Dimed bythe Church Preaching Office.1 The present study focuses on the worship of the Divine Mercy in the forms proposed by St. Faustina Kowalska (Sister Faustina, 1905−1938), according to her private revelations. On the 50th anniversary of the revelation of the image of the Divine Mercy to Sister Faustina, during a symposium organised by his Eminence Cardinal Franci− szek Macharski, the Metropolitan of Cracow, on February, 19th −20th 1981, Fr Ró− życki gave a lecture in which he analysed the “forms of devotion and promises related to them”, as revealed during the private visions of Sister Faustina.2 These forms of devotion include: the worship of the image of Jesus the Merciful, Divine Mercy Sunday falling on the next Sunday after Easter, chaplet of Divine Mercy with prayers such as: novena to Divine Mercy, litany to Divine Mercy, and the Hour ofMercy at three o’clock PM – the time of the Saviour’s death on the cross − and spreading the worship of the Divine Mercy. In the first part of his lecture, which took the form of a theological analysis of Sister Faustina’s private revelations, FrRó− życki explained that, according to the Saint’s Diary, “the devotion does not only involve great promises, but also requirements; the most important element ofthe devotion is, however, the active love of other people.”3 This shall be the focus of this study.

Holy Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday
N. 210411b Sunday 11.04.2021 Holy Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday At 10.30 this morning, in the Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia, Shrine of Divine Mercy, Pope Francis celebrated Holy Mass on the Feast of Divine Mercy. Archbishop Rino Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelisation, Msgr. Jozef Bart, rector of the Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia, and some Missionaries of Mercy instituted during the Jubilee of Mercy concelebrated with the Pope. The Eucharistic celebration was attended by a group of inmates from the prisons of Regina Caeli, Rebibbia (women) and Casal del Marmo di Roma, some Hospitaller Sisters of Mercy, a representation of nurses from the Santo Spirito in Sassia Hospital, some disabled people, a family of migrants from Argentina, and young refugees from Syria, Nigeria and Egypt, including two Egyptians from the Coptic Church and a Syrian Caritas volunteer belonging to the Syrian Catholic Church. The following is the homily delivered by the Pope during the Holy Mass: Homily of the Holy Father The risen Jesus appeared to the disciples on several occasions. He patiently soothed their troubled hearts. Risen himself, he now brings about “the resurrection of the disciples”. He raises their spirits and their lives are changed. Earlier, the Lord’s words and his example had failed to change them. Now, at Easter, something new happens, and it happens in the light of mercy. Jesus raises them up with mercy. Having received that mercy, they become merciful in turn. It is hard to be merciful without the experience of having first received mercy.
