"How can you ask your Lord to be mild and merciful to you, when you have been so hard and unforgiving to your fellow-man."

Mercy. Mercy is everything. How divine and beautiful is mercy? I dont think there is a way to explain it or describe it. Mercy, the mercy of our Lord, who can understand this? Only the merciful. This is the great secret of our indestructible Faith.
