The title of this volume of essays, Mercy Illuminates, is taken from a symposium held on the campus of Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, on April 23, 2008, in celebration of the institution’s sixtieth anniversary. Most of the articles that follow were presented that day in an earlier version. The epilogue of Mercy Illuminates is a paper presented by Sister Leona Misto, Vice President for Mission Integration and Planning at Salve Regina, at the Conference of Mercy Higher Education in June 2008.
