Mercy Quotes
-
If one believed in angels one would feel that they must love us best when we are asleep and cannot hurt each other; and what a mercy it is that once in every twenty-four hours we are too utterly weary to go on being unkind. The doors shut, and the lights go out, and the sharpest tongue is silent, and all of us, scolder and scolded, happy and unhappy, master and slave, judge and culprit, are children again, tired, and hushed, and helpless, and forgiven.
Elizabeth von Arnim

To believe in love and to make it the embodiment and sum of our understanding of existence has far–reaching, indeed revolutionary consequences for our image of God, for our self–understanding and for our life praxis, for ecclesial praxis and for our conduct in the world.

Walter Kasper
