It is mercy, not justice or courage or even heroism that alone can defeat evil.

Concepts such as extending mercy, reciprocity, generativity, and even compassion don’t make much sense in an economy of greed and personal gain. But if this is the kingdom of God, then our concepts must rise to new levels.... (www.catholic365.com)
