Christ All Merciful
by Megan McKenna and Icons by William Hart McNichols, S.J.
$20.00 Paperback

As they have throughout the centuries, icons lead, teach, inspire and draw us into the presence of the divine. The twenty-one images found in Christ All Merciful lead us to see Jesus face to face and to become this image of God, to put on the new life of Christ.

“The icon is a way for the friends of Christ to share in his mysteries, in the sacraments, and to come to know the Father as Jesus knew him in the flesh…Each icon reveals a different facet of who Jesus is and what he has done in creation.” — Megan McKenna
