Mercy is love that seeks to relieve the misery of others. It is an active love, poured out upon others to heal, to comfort, to console, to forgive, to remove pain. It is the love that God offers us, and it is the love He demands from us for each other:
I give you a new commandment... As I have loved you, so you must love one another (Jn 13:34)...Be merciful even as your Father is merciful (Lk 6:36)
Repeatedly the scriptures remind us that the measure we use for others is the measure God will use for us (Lk 6:36), for He will indeed "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us " (Mt 6:12-14).
I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls (1074)
The Divine Mercy
