Mercy


Mercy is the distinctive feature of God. We practice it, too, and must do so all our lives: corporal mercy, spiritual mercy, mercy in the rural areas and in the missions by hastening to meet the needs of our neighbor, mercy when we’re at home, and with regard to the poor, by teaching them the things necessary for salvation, and in so many other circumstances God presents to us. (2-3 November 1656; SV XI, 328)
