“In the heart of Jesus, we recognize that God himself has a heart (cor) for us, who are poor (miseri), in the broadest sense of the word, and that he is, therefore, merciful (misericors).”

“For I am God and no mortal, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath” (Hos 11:9). That is an astounding statement. It says: God’s holiness, his Being Wholly Other, in contradistinction to everything human, is disclosed not in his righteous anger, not even in his inscrutable and inaccessible transcendence. God’s being God is revealed in his mercy. Mercy is the expression of his divine essence.”

“Consequently, for Kant grace practically becomes a postulate of practical reason. For this reason, according to Kant, the Christian religion is the only moral religion. It offers a higher assistance to everyone who does what he or she can and must do, supplementing that which is not in his or her power.30 From a theological point of view, we have to judge such a statement as unsatisfactory because it is a Pelagian interpretation of the Christian doctrine of grace. But we have to add that we cannot at all expect from philosophy”
