Mercy is all-forgiving love that condescends to us, even if we do not deserve it at all.
Mercy is only an unstable mental idea until it is realized in deeds.
Mercy is the highest form of love for one's neighbor.
Benefits of Charity

Mercy gives strength - it is enough even to forgive enemies.
Mercy gives confidence in the correctness of deeds and actions caused by this feeling.
Mercy gives joy - the joy of giving up negative emotions.
Showing mercy in everyday life
Gospel of Matthew; The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans - mercy is embodied in a sympathetic attitude towards people and is opposed to neglect.
Charity - consistent mercy presupposes not just goodwill, but also understanding of another person and active participation in the life of another. In public life, service such participation may appear in the form of charity.
Prayer - prayer for a sinner is the best example of mercy.
Justice - conditional punishment for a real crime is nothing more than mercy towards the criminal.
How to develop compassion in yourself

Participation in charity events. Effective mercy penetrates the soul more easily and takes hold in it.
Way of thinking. By practicing conscious refusal to judge someone, a person learns mercy.

Sayings about mercy
Do not deny food to the beggar and do not tire the needy with waiting eyes; do not sadden the hungry soul and do not grieve a person in his poverty; do not disturb your already grieved heart and do not put off giving to the needy; do not refuse the oppressed one who begs for help, and do not turn your face away from the beggar; do not turn your eyes away from the one asking and do not give the person a reason to curse you; for when he curses you in the sorrow of his soul, He who created him will hear his prayer. ...Incline your ear to the beggar and answer him kindly, with meekness; save the offended from the hand of the one who offends and do not be cowardly when you judge; Be like a father to orphans and like a husband to their mother. (Sir. 4:1-10)
When you stretch out your hands, I close My eyes from you; and when you multiply your prayers, I do not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash yourself, make yourself clean; remove your evil deeds from before my eyes; stop doing evil; learn to do good, seek righteousness, save the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow... (Isa. 1:11-17)
He who shows mercy lends to his neighbor. Spend your silver for your brother and friend, and do not let it rust under a stone to destruction; dispose of your treasure according to the commandments of the Most High, and it will bring you more benefit than gold; put alms in your storerooms, and it will deliver you from all misfortune. (Sir. 29:1;13-15)
People spend money without a purpose and do not think about their neighbor, who has nothing to eat. Good is good only if the person doing it sacrifices something of his own: sleep, peace, and the like. Only by sacrificing does a person remain in kinship with Christ, because Christ is the Sacrifice. (Paisiy Svyatogorets)
Anything spent beyond that is stolen from someone whose need is greater than ours. This does not darken existence, it brings joy: sharing, giving and receiving. As long as there is at least one hungry person and a lack of pleasure, excess of convenience is theft. (Priest Alexander Elchaninov)
They don’t give alms because, they say, they’ll get drunk, etc. Even if he drinks, then this is a lesser sin than the bitterness that we arouse in him by our refusal, and the callousness and condemnation that we cultivate in ourselves.
Whoever gives free rein to the good movement of his heart, first of all, he himself is enriched - a bright, healing power, joy, peace enters his soul, healing all the diseases and ulcers of our soul. A hard-hearted person, on the contrary, squeezes his heart; he lets cold, enmity, and death into it.
There is no need to think that there is only one type of wealth - money. You can be rich in the wealth of youth, have a treasure of talent, gifts, have the capital of health. All these riches are also obstacles to salvation. Material wealth enslaves us, sharpens our egoism, confuses our hearts, oppresses us with worries and fears, and demands sacrifices for itself, like an insatiable demon. It does not serve us, but we usually serve it. But isn’t it the same with the wealth of health, strength, youth, beauty, talent? Isn’t it true that they also strengthen our pride, take our heart captive, leading it away from God. Yes, truly blessed are the poor in terms of property - how easy it is for them to acquire the gospel lightness of spirit and freedom from earthly shackles, but blessed are those who lack health and youth (because he who suffers in the flesh stops sinning), blessed are the ugly, not talented, losers - they are not have within themselves the main enemy - pride, since they have nothing to be proud of... (Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh)
Small good deeds are water on the flower of a person’s personality. A person who is hungry or has been starving for a long time does not need to eat half a pound of bread - it is enough to eat half a pound, and his body will perk up. Life itself provides amazing similarities and images of the importance of small things. To ferment a barrel of dough, you don’t need to mix it with a barrel of yeast at all. It is enough to add just a little yeast and the whole barrel will sour. The same is true for good: the smallest thing can produce a huge effect. That is why you should not neglect the little things in goodness and say to yourself: “I can’t do great good - I won’t care about any good.” Great good is only a roof erected on the walls - bricks - of small good. This is how a person is saved: from small things come great things. “He who is faithful in small things” turns out to be faithful in great things. (Archim. John (Peasant)
Only in his thoughts does a millionaire possess his millions. In fact, they have a millionaire, who in most cases is bound by them, forced to a certain way of life, attached to a certain circle of people, forced to have suspicion, lies, flattery, envy, servility, insincerity, attempts on his life - physical and spiritual. The Apocalypse speaks very definitely about such wealth: You say about yourself, I am rich, I have become rich and have no need for anything, but you do not know that you are unhappy and pitiful, and poor, and blind, and naked (Rev. 3:17) . In the reverse meaning of this expression, one could say about some materially poor person, rich in kind and bright feelings and selfless deeds, but seeing only his poverty, his earthly insignificance: You say that you are poor, thin, and poor, and in you have need for everyone, but do not know that you are rich in Christ, rich in eternity, and no one can take this wealth, which gives you eternal bliss, from you... Property is a conductor of the love of God and man. But people often, out of self-interest, make it a conductor of hatred towards God and man. Isn’t all this slavery, not hard labor, increasing as wealth increases? How big is what money can buy? Is peace of the soul - the highest happiness - included among purchases? This transparent harmony of life is the Kingdom of God within us. Blessed is property based on the love of God and freedom of heart. “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” The gift of property brings blessing. Kidnapped - brings down a curse. Genuine human possession is hidden only in this Eucharistic property, coming from God and to God through man. “Only what is mine is what I gave,” says St. Maxim the Confessor. Gave it to... who? - To God, to people in need. As it is written: “He has lavished it, he has given it to the poor; his righteousness endures forever” (Ps. 111:9). A person can become rich and generous in acts of mercy. Among the rich there are those who “hid it for themselves”, who buried wealth in the ground, and there are people who gave it to God, who began to consider themselves only called upon to distribute it as fairly as possible in the world. Yes, if all people were fully imbued with this true contemplation of reality, how differently would their lives go; how all the terrible misanthropic theories that replace one another in the world would scatter and disappear, and one correct, true Christian attitude towards the values of the earth would reign. (Arch. John (Shakhovskoy)
Our hearts often slam shut before the pleas of the poor with such a thud that it can be heard in heaven. (Henry Longfellow)
A bone thrown to a dog is not mercy. Mercy is a bone shared with a dog when you are as hungry as he is. (Jack London)
True mercy is the desire to benefit other people without thinking about reward. (Helen Keller)
