-"A common respect for human dignity is vital to being a merciful and loving man or woman in the eyes of God and our neighbors." -Father Joseph Callum
-The dignity of all people needs to be considered and respected in order to make merciful commitments to people of all backgrounds and situations.
-One major example is the immigrant crisis spanning the globe. We must be merciful in working to solve the issue with consideration and mercy towards the millions of people struggling with such a conflict of life.
-We cannot simply turn our back to these problems, we have to acknowledge the dignity in each human and gain a sense of charity in acting mercifully towards the plight of our brothers and sisters of the world.

-The people in our world who are in dire circumstances rely on others to give their service and means in order to overcome the struggles of their lives.
-A real world example of mercy for the impoverished is the sweeping homelessness problem of our country and the world abroad (personified in the movie we watched last week).

-"Despite popular belief, a care for God's creation goes far beyond the reaches of mankind" -Father Thomas Harley
-Showing mercy is often thought of as a consideration to other humans, our brothers and sisters of our world, but an interesting way to consider mercifulness is in respect to the environment.
-In today's world a prevalence of conflict in relation to our climate is becoming increasingly apparent.
-Showing mercy to God's creation can and does mean respecting the planet and the environmental elements for its preservation. After all, our world was created by God and needs the merciful action of protecting its beauty and habitability.
