I don’t know where I got this, if it’s scriptural or not,

     **MY NAME IS MERCY**

“The Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness”, said the Pope quoting the biblical text. “These are human words”, he added, “they tell us the truth about God. They were true
yesterday, they are true today and they will be true always. They cause us to see the face of the Invisible with the eyes of the mind. They tells us the name of the Ineffable. That name is Mercy, Grace, Faithfulness”. Benedict XVI in Savona and Genoa May 2008

I don’t think I got this name MERCY from the Pope, I think we got it from the same source,but I don’t know what that is.

Mt. 5, 14-16

14 You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. 16 So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven

Job 32:18-20 I can hardly wait to speak. I can not hold back the words. If I don’t get a chance to speak, I will burst like a wineskin full of new wine. I can’t stand it; I have to speak

**Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. **
1Cor 1:26-29
