MERCY HOUSE'S MISSION
We are the residents of Mercy House, an intentional community creating
a House of Hospitality, in the traditions of Dorothy Day and Jane Addams.
In forming this community, we dedicate ourselves to fostering relationships
of kindness, gentleness, generosity and mercy among ourselves,
and to supporting and encouraging each other in works of mercy.
As a community, we dedicate ourselves
to daily works of mercy in all their manifestations-
-words and actions by which we care for others.
Traditionally, works of mercy include
comforting, consoling, forgiving, bearing wrongs patiently, instructing and advising.
Such works also include feeding the hungry, visiting the sick and imprisoned,
clothing those in need and welcoming strangers.
To these, we add all works of
justice, such as befriending the lonely, listening with an open heart,
community organizing, sheltering the homeless, solidarity with vulnerable,
marginalized and disempowered people, and advocacy on behalf of the poor,
the stigmatized, the mentally ill and the addicted.
As a chief witness of charity and a preeminent work of justice,
we include peace building.
Supported and encouraged by our community,
we aspire and dedicate ourselves to extending mercy and hospitality
to our entire world, particularly the homeless, the abandoned, the ostracized
and the most poor and lonely.
In forming this community,
we hope that our care and compassion for each other overflows to those who most need it.
We desire to make it easier for all people to be merciful and to do good to others.
