Aquinas and Mercy

Misera Cordia is not exactly what we mean by pity but it's also clear for Aquinas that it's not just a feeling Right so that it's a feeling that leads to action It went and where it's appropriate for you to respond right. We have to actually want to respond and help where and when we can, he says. And I don't feel proud at the fact that I am not suffering the same misfortune I in fact feel mercy for those who have suffered  what I may well have or may Suffer at some point in the future,. especially to exercise mercy toward others.
