"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."
Oh, let us pray for a merciful heart! To be generous to those in fault;
to be kind to those who wrong us; to cultivate a fellow-feeling for all
the suffering there is in the world, and to endeavour to do our little
part in trying to alleviate it.
"The Lord God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in
mercy."
