Back
then in school, I had a friend her name is Mercy. Ones, I wondered why her parents would give her a name
like that. She never did answer that question because I never put it to
her. I could only think of various reasons why I would name my child “Mercy” or
better still, “Mercy of God” or as the Igbo’s would put it “Eberechi or
Eberechukwu” or in Yoruba "Anuoluwa" . There must really be a story backing the naming of a child Mercy.

On
Tuesday morning, I made out time out from my tight schedule to attend a
programme at the Catholic Cathedral of Lagos: The Holy Cross Cathedral on the
Island. I convinced myself to go because of the significance of the programme - Pilgrimage walk through the door of Mercy. Most of the activities of the Church
are so significant and symbolic so much so as to direct our focus on God Almighty
and this is one of them.
