Just
as God is compassionate toward you in a threefold way, so ought you to show
compassion toward others is three ways. God's compassion is gracious, spacious,
and precious. God's compassion is gracious, that is, grace-filled, because it
purifies the soul of vice.... God's compassion is spacious because with the
passage of time it extends itself to good works.... God's compassion is
precious in the joys of eternal life.
