The Quality of Mercy

Mercy is the gentle art of bending without breaking—an act of strength cloaked in compassion that lifts both giver and receiver. It waters parched hearts, softens hard edges, and reveals our shared humanity.

In offering mercy, we acknowledge our own imperfections and extend a hand beyond judgment, planting seeds of grace that bloom into forgiveness. True mercy isn’t weakness; it’s the boldest kindness, a choice to value love over revenge and healing over harm.
