Grace and mercy

Grace

Jesus demands pure and good intentions instead of outward practices; in fact, the circumstances of the act cannot alter its moral species.
On the eve of His sacrifice on the Cross, Jesus Himself prayed to the Father for His disciples that they might be one, a living communion.
This is the basis of the responsibility afore God and His plan, as divisions contradict the will of Christ forming a stumbling block to the world and damaging the proclaim of the Gospel.
