On Mercy - Day One

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Beginning a week-long series of quotes on mercy in preparation for our time together around the fifth beatitude on the 12th of July:

William Shakespeare

The quality of mercy is not strain’d,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. –Shakespeare
