Mercy » Should be shown » To backsliders
I will go to my father and say: 'Father I have sinned against God and against you. I am not fit to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired workers.' He went to his father. He was a long way from home when his father saw him. His heart filled with pity. He ran and threw his arms around his son and kissed him.
Sufficient to such a one is this punishment that was inflicted by the many. To the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excess sorrow. I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
