In this podcast, I’m examining how mercy reflects Jesus, and how it ought to be an attitude and disposition in our lives, and how this beatitude points us toward heaven. Be sure to explore the links below about the image of Jesus as the Divine Mercy, and devotion to the Divine Mercy. **Links for this episode:** [Didache Bible ](https://amzn.to/39ru13E) [Divine Mercy Image](https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/image) [Everything you need to know about devotion to the Divine Mercy ](https://www.thedivinemercy.org/) [Petition to add St. Maria Faustina Kowalska to the Doctors of the Church](https://forms.thedivinemercy.org/doctor/) **Other podcasts of related interest:** *About St. Faustina and Divine Mercy:* [AW Espresso Shot 8](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2016/03/21/among-women-espresso-shot-8-praying-the-divine-mercy-chaplet/): Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet [AW 49](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2010/03/17/among-women-podcast-49/): Aspects of Divine Mercy discussed [AW 3](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2009/04/14/among-women-podcast-3/): St. Faustina and the devotion to Divine Mercy *Previous podcasts in the Beatitudes series:* [AW Espresso Shot 40](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2020/03/30/among-women-espresso-shot-40-blessed-are-those-who-hunger-and-thirst-for-righteousness/): Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [AW Espresso Shot 39:](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2020/02/29/among-women-espresso-shot-39-blessed-are-the-meek/) Blessed are the meek [AW Espresso Shot 38:](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2020/02/13/among-women-espresso-shot-38-blessed-are-those-who-mourn/) Blessed are those who mourn [AW Espresso Shot 37:](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2020/01/22/among-women-espresso-shot-37-blessed-are-the-poor-in-spirit/) Blessed are the poor in spirit [AW Espresso Shot 36](https://amongwomenpodcast.com/2020/01/04/among-women-espresso-shot-36-the-beatitudes-an-overview/): An overview of the Beatitudes --- Copyright 2020 Pat Gohn Image:[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/images/id-4193589/) ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Famong-women-espresso-shot-41-blessed-are-the-merciful%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Famong-women-espresso-shot-41-blessed-are-the-merciful%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Famong-women-espresso-shot-41-blessed-are-the-merciful%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Among%20Women%20Espresso%20Shot%20%2341%3A%20Blessed%20are%20the%20merciful) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Famong-women-espresso-shot-41-blessed-are-the-merciful%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Famong-women-espresso-shot-41-blessed-are-the-merciful%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Pat Gohn](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/_catholicmom/Contriubutors/PAT%20GOHN.jpeg) ### [Pat Gohn](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/pat-gohn) Pat Gohn is a married empty-nester with three adult children and four grandchildren.
