To Love Mercy More Than Life
Posted by Wallace+
My friend and fellow pastor, the Reverend Alex Evans of Second
Presbyterian, draws our attention, in
an RTD column yesterday, to words from "America, America, God Shed
His Grace on Thee," where we are called to love "mercy more than
life...till all success be nobleness and every gain divine."
I must say, those words had never gotten my attention with such force as
they did while reading Alex's fine reflection on the Parable of the
Good Samaritan. I commend his column to you; and, likewise, Nicholas
Kristoff's column from yesterday, which, in its own way, is on the
same theme: loving mercy more than life itself.
Praying for mercy. And praying for merciful hearts.
Amen, amen.
