The seven Works of Mercy

For Psalm 23 text part 9, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life", Larisa Cataño depicts the merciful love of God as infinite light and power flowing through one's heart to those in need. The concept of a merciful God is considered a prominent attribute of God in various religions, including Christianity, Judaism and Islam, as well as other religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. It is also considered one of the main virtues and most important duties of the monotheistic religions. Cataño interprets the seven spiritual works of mercy and the seven corporal works of mercy in the form of a mandala.
