The God of Mercy…not niceties (C19E2)

What is Mercy? We sometimes equate it to forgive and forget, but it is more complicated than that. There are the Corporal works of Mercy and the Spiritual Works of Mercy. The Spiritual works of mercy should get us thinking a little more about the complexity of mercy. One of the works is “Admonish the Sinner” How is that merciful? There is also: To instruct the ignorant; To counsel the doubtful; To admonish sinners; To bear wrongs patiently; To forgive offenses willingly; To comfort the afflicted; To pray for the living and the dead. 4/28/19
