Mercy

Mercy is the first root of all the action of God towards us; He displays this not only by having pity on us but by dispelling our misery.
--Saint Thomas Aquinas

    I like those words, "mercy is the first root". Because without mercy coming first, forgiveness will not follow. Many things flow from mercy - understanding, tolerance, acceptance, etc....
