Mercy of God

Some Quotes on the Divine Mercy of God:

“Our sins are nothing but a grain of sand alongside the great mountain of the mercy of God.” -- St. John Vianney

“Where is the foolish person who would think it in his power to commit a sin more than God could forgive.” -- St. Francis de Sales

“Let your prayers go out to those on the left cross that they may be mindful of the expiatory value of their suffering; let your love also go out to the Good Shepherd on the central Cross who suffers so innocently for all the people, and because you never once thought of yourself but of others, or in other words, because you were merciful, you will hear the reward of mercy from the central Cross: 'This day you shall be with me in paradise.' In that way you become another Good Thief, for a good thief is one who steals Paradise!” -- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

“Since God displayed His great mercy in so many ways even toward Judas, an apostle turned traitor, since He invited him so often to be forgiven and did not allow him to perish except through despair alone, surely there is no cause for anyone in this life to despair even if an imitator of Judas.” -- St. Thomas More

“God acts mercifully, not indeed by going against His justice, but by doing something more than justice; thus a man who pays another two hundred pieces of money, though owing him only one hundred, does nothing against justice, but acts liberally or mercifully. The case is the same with one who pardons an offence committed against him, for in remitting it he may be said to bestow a gift.” -- St. Thomas Aquinas

“Conversion to God always consists in discovering His mercy, that is, in discovering that love which is patient and kind as only the Creator and Father can be; the love to which the 'God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' is faithful to the uttermost consequences in the history of His covenant with man; even to the cross and to the death and resurrection of the Son. Conversion to God is always the fruit of the rediscovery of this Father, who is rich in mercy.” -- Pope John Paul II

“Our only hope, our only confidence, our only assured promise, Lord, is Your mercy.” -- St. Augustine

To say that there is no infinite mercy in God is the same as saying there is no mercy in God since everything of God is infinite. But to take mercy from God is to make God un-God and hence, if there were no mercy, we should act like atheists who have no hope for eternal happiness since eternal happiness is based on the mercy of God.
