Image Title: Inciting God to Mercy

Description: Three figures in the center of the image represent fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Above their heads, a large winged heart hovers and above that, God emerges from a cloud. The Latin superscription reads, "Three things persuade God to mercy" and the text below, "What quickly calls down divine peace from the heavenly city? A generous hand toward the poor; Fasting; Dedication in prayer.".
