Rarely, do we forgive those who do not “deserve” or ask for forgiveness. Mercy will be a form of evangelization. Others will surely notice when we show mercy with the love of Christ. We can do this by studying the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy and making their practice a habit in our lives. (Read more.)
