I was LWS-ing (Last Word Syndrome) on the Spanish word "Misericordia" over the weekend as I attended the thanksgiving celebration by Members Church of God International.
The first time I encountered MISERICORDIA, was from a Spanish Bible verse read for the Hermanos and Hermanas.
Though the event is already over, the word is stuck in my mind and floods my Facebook news feed.
In Spanish it also means MERCY.
MISERICORDIA is such a word full of HOPE. Indeed. I feel it.
Actually, when you take the Wikipedia entry of the word, it has a compilation of the following establishments
relating to health care and education.
- Misericordia Community Hospital in Edmonton, Canada
- Misericordia Health Centre, Winnipeg, Canada
- Misericordia Home, Chicago, Illinois
- Misericordia University, Dallas, Pennsylvania, USA
- Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland
For newly-weds, you might want to include MISERICORDIA (Mercy) to your baby name choices along with the common Spanish names EZPERANZA (Hope), AMOR (Love) and FE (Faith).
RBL.
