"Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful."
Luke 6:36
Extend your mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need whom you meet without helping. For what hope is there for us if God should withdraw His Mercy from us? -- St Vincent de Paul
Always be ready to exchange the quiet of contemplation for the works of mercy as soon as you perceive in your heart the invitation of Christ. -- St Anthony of Padua
I prayed to the LORD, my God, and confessed, "Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, you who keep your merciful covenant toward those who love you and observe your commandments! We have sinned, been wicked and done evil; we have rebelled and departed from your commandments and your laws. We have not obeyed your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name (Dn. 9:4-6). Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake (Ps. 79:9)!
