The Virtue of Mercy
Mercy is a virtue that combines pity and action. It is a divine attribute but can also be practiced by humans. The first dimension of mercy is pity, where one empathizes with the misery of another. The second dimension is taking action to alleviate that misery. Mercy is expressed through alms deeds, which include spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
