Famous quotes containing the words mercy and/or petitions:

    Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Christ has called us to new visions
    Here to celebrate and praise,
    Here confess our old divisions,
    Here our peace petitions raise.
    Come repentant, come forgiving,
    Come in joy and hope and prayer.
    Christ, once crucified, now living,
    Bids us faith and love to share.
    Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
