As the purpose of the article unveiled above the author was going to show mysterium paschale interpreted by the Pope John Paul II through the prism of the theology of God’s mercy. The essential lecture of this subject can be found in the two first encyclicals of the Pope: Dives in misericordia and Redemptor hominis, however the problem was consequently present in the teaching of the Pope during his whole pontificate. In the presented article the author tries to unveil the perspective of God’s mercy in the mystery of the cross and Christ’s resurrection. Within each of these issues the author unveiled the problems that were special and complete expression of the merciful love of God. Within the question of the relation between the mystery of the cross and the mystery of God’s mercy the following problems were touched: acceptance of the suffering of Christ as an expression of solidarity with the creature, discovery of God who deserves mercy, the kenosis of the Son as the revelation of God’s mercy, the fidelity of God to the creature. In the elaboration of the problem of God’s mercy in the resurrection of Christ the following issues were touched: the Father’s mercy toward the Son, the God’s mercy towards the creature, the sign and the beginning of the eschatological mercy.

As it was mentioned in the first part of the present article, its purpose was the presentation of the selected issues concerning the ecclesiological and social aspect of mercy in the teaching of the Church, mainly of the pontificate of pope John Paul II, as the answer to the disappearing of the bond of brotherhood among people and the way of the restoration of relation. The study was leant on three pillars (problems): 1) God’s mercy in sacraments (through the sacramentalness of the Church, in the Eucharist and the sacrament of penance and reconciliation), 2) the issue of “creativity in charity” (through support for needy people, relationality of mercy and the relation between “mercy” and “justice”), 3) deeds of mercy (through mercy as a life style, the idea of the civilization of mercy and reconciliation as the purpose of the service of mercy). Summarizing the presented observation, it must be said that the validity of Christ’s Church mission and the necessity of its existence in the modern world depend largely on the undertaking of the adjuration contained in Christ’s Gospel: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36).The example given by the Church is to become the leaven of the world based on authentic interpersonal solidarity. The act of mercy creates harmony and unity amongst people, building a better world. The service of the Church should reflect on the level of authentic faith in God’s mercy – for the members of the Church to experience it. God’s mercy brings renewal of the earth.The duty of the Church is to show the true meaning of “mercy” that reflects in the human attitude God’s perfection, fulfilling justice and to lead a better life.

Upływ niespełna czterdziestu lat od czasu ogłoszenia encykliki Dives in misericordia nie zdezaktualizował ogłoszonych tam tez i postulatów. Przeciwnie, wiele ze wskazanych wówczas przez Jana Pawła II zagrożeń cywilizacyjnych pogłębiło się, a na pierwszy plan wysunęła się postępująca alienacja człowieka i osłabienie więzów międzyludzkiej solidarności. Propozycja papieża, by właściwie rozumiane i uzasadnione miłosierdzie uczynić panaceum na problemy dotykające relacje międzyludzkie, jest nadal aktualna. Szczególna rola przypada tu Kościołowi. Jak stwierdził Jan Paweł II w encyklice Dives in misericordia: „Jezus Chrystus ukazał, że człowiek nie tylko doświadcza i «dostępuje» miłosierdzia Boga samego, ale także jest powołany do tego, ażeby sam «czynił» miłosierdzie drugim: «Błogosławieni miłosierni, albowiem oni miłosierdzia dostąpią» (Mt 5,7). Kościół znajduje w tych słowach wezwanie do czynu i stara się «czynić miłosierdzie»” (nr 14).
