Question

John Paul II claimed that God is made “visible” by this concept in a 1980 encyclical about the necessity of its “richness” in society. A passage from Exodus is the source of Jewish belief in the “thirteen attributes” of this concept. The phrase “Jesus, I trust in you” is often written on images of a “divine” aspect of this concept described (10[1])by Saint Faustina Kowalska. Pope Francis I declared 2016 an “Extraordinary Jubilee Year of [this concept].” In a section on the “Sheep and the Goats” from Matthew, Jesus described the “corporal works” of this concept, distinguished from its “spiritual works.” The opening of the Kyrie (“KEE-ree-ay”) prayer invokes this concept, (10[1])which also begins and sometimes (10[1])names Psalm 51. For 10 points, in the Jesus Prayer, worshippers ask him to have what concept on them as sinners? ■END■
