Mercy Thought

When the Lord hears my prayer for mercy (a prayer which is itself inspired by the action of His mercy) then He makes His mercy present and visible in me by moving me to have mercy on others as He has had mercy on me. This is the way in which God's mercy fulfils His divine justice: mercy and justice seem to us to differ, but in the works of God they are both expressions of His love.

Thomas Merton
