The symposium, which aimed to high- light lived examples of mercy during this Jubilee Year of Mercy, explored the lives of Father Eusebio Kino, Father Anto- nio Margil de Jesus, Father Michael McGivney and "angel of charity" Julia Greeley from Denver. The symposium was organized by the Pontifi cal Commis- sion for Latin America in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Denver. Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila deliv- ered the keynote address for the sym- posium. These four witnesses, he said, give people a glimpse of the face and heart of Christ and exemplify the vir- tues needed in a world that is hostile towards people of faith. "I ask you to speak with God in the quiet of your heart about how he is call- ing you to be a herald of mercy without reservation and with your whole heart, as these four witnesses did," he said.
