Fr Wansbrough guides the reader through each of the Sunday gospels during the Year of Mercy (Year C) from Advent December 2015 to the end of the liturgical year in November 2016. Each gospel passage is accompanied by a succinct commentary on both the story and in particular the place of mercy in Christ's ministry and in our own everyday life, as his disciples. Pope Francis has emphasized the important place of scripture during the Year of Mercy.
