Is mercy more important than justice? Since antiquity, mercy has been regarded as a virtue. Yet by the end of the eighteenth century, mercy had been exiled from political life. In this book, Malcolm Bull analyses and challenges the Enlightenment’s rejection of mercy. Political realism, Bull argues, demands recognition of the foundational role of mercy in society. If we are vulnerable to harm from others, we are in need of their mercy. By restoring the primacy of mercy over justice, we may constrain the powerful and release the agency of the powerless. An important contribution to political philosophy from an inventive thinker, On Mercy makes a persuasive case for returning this neglected virtue to the heart of political thought.

When Jesus asked us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and visit the imprisoned, he didn’t mean it literally, right? Kerry Weber, a modern, young, single woman in New York City sets out to see if she can practice the Corporal Works of Mercy in an authentic, personal, meaningful manner while maintaining a full, robust, regular life. Weber, a lay Catholic, explores the Works of Mercy in the real world, with a gut-level honesty and transparency that people of urban, country, and suburban locales alike can relate to. Mercy in the City is for anyone who is struggling to live in a meaningful, merciful way amid the pressures of “real life.” For those who feel they are already overscheduled and too busy, for those who assume that they are not “religious enough” to practice the Works of Mercy, for those who worry that they are alone in their efforts to live an authentic life, Mercy in the City proves that by living as people for others, we learn to connect as people of faith.

Download A Mercy Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A powerful tragedy distilled into a small masterpiece by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved and, almost like a prelude to that story, set two centuries earlier. Jacob is an Anglo-Dutch trader in 1680s United States, when the slave trade is still in its infancy. Reluctantly he takes a small slave girl in part payment from a plantation owner for a bad debt. Feeling rejected by her slave mother, 14-year-old Florens can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, but later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives . . . At the novel's heart, like Beloved, it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter – a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.

"In his encyclical Rich in Mercy (Dives in Misericordia), St. Pope John Paul II demonstrated how God the Father is 'rich in mercy' through a masterful exposition of Scripture, especially the Gospel parable of the Prodigal Son. John Paul II rooted the message of God's mercy in both Scripture and Church Tradition, speaking of how the merciful love of the Father is revealed in Christ as the 'Incarnation of Mercy' and 'the inexhaustible source of mercy.' Further, St. John Paul II, as the Great Mercy Pope, emphasized that 'Christ's messianic program, the program of mercy, ' must become 'the program of the Church.' Particularly in our modern times, the Church has the 'right and duty' to 'profess and proclaim God's mercy, ' to 'introduce it and make it incarnate' in the lives of all people, and 'to call upon the mercy of God, ' imploring it for the whole world. [This text] is essential reading for every Catholic who desires to help carry on the legacy of the Great Mercy Pope."--Back cover
