Mercy

To look toward the sinner with kindness and say, “welcome.”

To stretch one’s hand toward the shamed and say, “You’re forgiven.”

To draw the hungry to the full table and say, “Eat, be satisfied.”

To open the door to the stumbling and say, “Rest.”

To hand a key to the homeless and say, “This is your home.”

To listen to the offender and say, “I understand.”

To embrace the outcast and say, “We are your family.”
