Banner Of Misericordia
The banner of Misericordia (Mercy) is a work of the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí projected for the procession to the Sanctuary of Misericordia in Reus of the reusians residing in Barcelona as one of the acts for the 1900 Holy Year. It is known by the two front and back photographs published in the ''Semanario Católico de Reus'' (Reus Catholic Weekly magazine) in July of that year. It included another photograph of the procession in which Gaudí is seen as part of a large group of pilgrims and the banner being carried by one of them. A previous issue of the same publication contains a description with references to the materials with which it was built. The banner remained in the sanctuary until July 1936, when it was destroyed in the events of the Spanish Civil War. Between 2003 and 2007 a project was carried to construct a replica based on the detailed study of the photographs, using the same materials and the same techniques as the original. The replica is currently exhibit ...

Like previous jubilees, it was seen by the Church as a period for remission of sins and universal pardon focusing particularly on God's forgiveness and mercy. It was an ''extraordinary'' Jubilee because it had not been predetermined long before; ordinary jubilees are usually celebrated every 25 years. The 2016 Jubilee was first announced by Pope Francis on 13 March 2015. It was declared in the pope's April 2015 papal bull of indiction (formal announcement or proclamation), ' (Latin for "The Face of Mercy"). It is the 27th holy year in history, following the ordinary 2000 Jubilee during John Paul II's papacy. The opening day was also the 50th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council.

The Misericordia Hospital ( it, Ospedale Misericordia di Grosseto) is a hospital located in Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy. It is home to the International School of Robotic Surgery ( it, Scuola internazionale di chirurgia robotica), founded in 2004 by Pier Cristoforo Giulianotti.

It was renewed and re-opened in 1787 by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Peter Leopold. During the 1950s, the municipality of Grosseto considered the possibility of transferring the hospital to a modern building outside the old city, as the historic structure could not satisfy the needs of the increasing population. The new building was partly financed by the businessman Ferdinando Innocenti and the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A.

Dives In Misericordia
''Dives in misericordia'' (Latin: ''Rich in Mercy'') is the name of the second encyclical written by Pope John Paul II. It is a modern examination of the role of mercy—both God's mercy, and also the need for human mercy—introducing the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son as a central theme. The original text was written in longhand in Polish. The encyclical was promulgated on 30 November 1980. Background John Paul II had a strong love for the Divine Mercy, a devotion revealed by his fellow Pole, Faustina Kowalska (b. 1905 - d.1938), a devotion that he later instituted for the entire Catholic Church in 2000 as Divine Mercy Sunday and during which vigil, in 2005, he died. He told his biographer George Weigel that he felt spiritually "very near" to Kowalska when he began the encyclical. Pope John Paul II's second encyclical continues to examine the world problems brought up in his first encyclical, ''Redemptor hominis'', including rising militarization, tyranny, starva ...

Archconfraternity Of The Misericordia
Confraternities of penitents ( es, Cofradía Penitencial; it, Fratellanza penitenziale; pt, Irmandade Penitencial) are Christian religious congregations, with statutes prescribing various penitential works; they are especially popular in the Catholic Church. Members of the confraternities of penitents practice mortification of the flesh through fasting, the use of the discipline, the wearing of a hair shirt, among other instruments of penance, etc. Background By the mid 12th century lay individuals practicing penance in central and northern Italy had begun to join together in associations for mutual spiritual and material support. The ''converso'' was a layman who had made a "conversion of life" and was affiliated to a monastic order as a lay brother. "Penitents" were those who adopted asceticism. Gradually, the distinction blurred. They retained their personal property and worked to support themselves. They were not cloistered monastics. By 1210 some had, with clerical assis ...

Misericordia Sunday
The Third Sunday of Easter is the day that occurs two weeks after the Christian celebration of Easter. Western Christianity In the historical Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, this day was officially known as the Second Sunday after Easter. It was also nicknamed Misericordia Sunday and Good Shepherd Sunday. The "Misericordia Sunday" designation was due to the incipit ("Misericórdia Dómini") of the introit assigned to this day's liturgy. The full text of the introit in its original Latin was: "Misericórdia Dómini plena est terra, allelúia: verbo Dómini caeli firmáti sunt, allelúia, allelúia. Exsultáte, iusti, in Dómino: rectos decet collaudátio." This introit is based on verses 5, 6, and 1 of Psalm 33. This day was called "Good Shepherd Sunday" due to the Gospel reading traditionally assigned to it (). In the 1970 revision of the ''Roman Missal'', this day was designated the "Third Sunday of Easter." The "Misericórdia Dómini" introit for this Sunday was swap ...
