Michael Gama

Course Overview

In this exploration of the theology of mercy, the spiritual doctrine of Saint Therese of Lisieux, Saint Maria Faustina, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, and Saint Pope John Paul II are thematically surveyed in relation to the realities of conversion and suffering in the Christian life. In light of these modern-day witnesses and the teachings of Pope Francis and Pope Benedict, Divine Mercy remains the dominant spiritual theme of our era and a key to approaching the new evangelization.
