Dives in Misericordia

I have begun rereading dives in misericordia, and was struck by a passage in Chapter 2 (The Incarnation of Mercy).

Christ confers on the whole of the Old Testament tradition about God's mercy a definitive meaning. Not only does He speak of it and explain it by the use of comparisons and parables, but above all He Himself makes it incarnate and personifies it. He Himself, in a certain sense, is mercy. To the person who sees it in Him - and finds it in Him - God becomes "visible" in a particular way as the Father who is rich in mercy."¹³

I think of this passage in respect to my reflection on Jesus' parable of the landowner and the ungrateful tenants.
