There is a moment inside a church that no one warns you about.
You walk into the room, pick a seat. The air — that air — is something you will spend the rest of your life trying to find again.
Vases of flowers fill the room. Sunlight catches the edges of everything. A kind of holy quiet settles over the room like a hand placed gently on your shoulder. Clean. Alive. New.
Mercy was born from this moment.
Lavender drifts through first — tender and unhurried, the way peace always arrives. Then lilac blooms open, full and heady and impossibly beautiful, filling every corner of the room the way only fresh flowers at the altar can. A quiet lift of lemon moves through it all — bright, clear, and pure as the very grace being given.
Together they breathe like a sanctuary in full bloom. Like the first deep breath after something is finally released. Like the moment you realize you are made new.
Because that is what mercy is, isn't it? Not something earned. Not something deserved. Just given — freely, fully, and more beautifully than we could have ever asked for.
Fresh flowers at the altar. Sunlight through glass. The quiet miracle of a new beginning.
This is Mercy.
