Mercy and Humanization walk together. The role of mercy is to humanize a person. This is inserting itself in the mutual life with person, with society, returning all the rights that were taken away, returning the right to liberty that was robbed, returning the dignity of the son/daughter of God what was lost. Bring them to assume their rights as citizens and Christians and thus the healing of their self image that was distorted.

If there is no humanization, mercy does not matter in the life of a person. Mercy is forgetting that which the other does and restoring the relationship with the person as it was before. Whomever acts with mercy, does not remain waiting to see if the person commits the same sin.

Mercy cannot be use as a pretext to eliminate or exclude persons.
