. . . mercy is the particular mode of love that leads to action . . . when this mode of action encounters suffering, it seeks to alleviate suffering . . . we can live mercy by doing something as great as physically going to the disaster area to assist, or we can live mercy by doing something as simple as just praying a short prayer.
