Inspired by two of Jesus' parables and work by Feinberg, Johnson and Smart, I suggest that following a "principle of merciful justice”—that persons ought to receive what they deserve or better—delivers mercy and justice simultaneously, certainly in cases of distributions of goods, and even in cases of distribution of harms as well, if we can accept some qualifications.
