Just as servants watch for the direction of a master's hand, the faithful look steadily to the Lord for mercy. Catholics can pray it when their dignity is wounded or their efforts seem despised. Its lesson is neither passivity nor servility toward human beings; it is sustained attention to God, who sees the lowly. The repeated plea for mercy forms a bridge between ancient worship and the Church's own cries for compassion in the liturgy.
