Mercy is a concern for the people in need. it has to do with assisting for those who suffer the consequence of disappointment, disease and distress. One of my mentors used to say," mercy is God's ministry to the miserable" And it does not stop with compassion or sadness over someone in dire straits; it means identifying with those who are hurting and imagining pain the pain they are having to endure, then doing something about it.
It's not simply some feeling of sympathy or sadness over somebody in trouble, but really getting inside the other person's skin, feeling what they feel, understanding their misery, and then helping them through it.
