"Mercies" is God's favor, lovingkindness, good deeds, mercy. One who has mercy is one who cares for another without expectation of reward. This is why we call nurses "angels of mercy". Organizations have the word Mercy in their title when the organization is dedicated to aiding others. This is who our God is dedicated to helping us.
