divine compassion
Heaven's gentle care
Divine compassion is mercy or kindness attributed to God or the gods—the caring response of a deity toward human suffering.
The phrase implies compassion that transcends ordinary human capacity, flowing from a higher spiritual source: She prayed for divine compassion in her darkest hour.
Extended to human behavior, it describes exceptional, selfless kindness that seems to exceed normal limits: The nurse showed divine compassion to every patient.
