Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
All Commentaries on Matthew 5:7 Go To Matthew 5
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Counsel corresponds to the merciful: for this is the one remedy for escaping from so great evils, that we forgive, as we wish to be ourselves forgiven; and that we assist others so far as we are able, as we ourselves desire to be assisted where we are not able: and of them it is here said, Blessed are the merciful.
