Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
All Commentaries on Matthew 5:7 Go To Matthew 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Not only the giving of alms, but the practice of all works of mercy, both corporal and spiritual, are recommended here, and the reward will be given on that day when God will repay every one according to his works, and will do by us, as we have done by our brethren. (Haydock)
