the quick answer would be something like that
"Kyrie Elieson" -literally Lord Mercy is a normal liturgical
prayer and part of the pulse of prayer I suppose in one
form or another.

But another question,and I suspect you wish to see how I
would deal with it since I see from your interests you have
some not unsophisticated ones, is what does that mean and why
pray it I will try just to say a word on each.

In one respect all that there is ,is mercy ,other words are
possible too for 'all that is' but it is not a bad one. In
mercy we live move and have our being...

it is possible,rather precisely like the self made prisoners in Plato's cave to in some self absorption make for ourselves an
alternative reality in which mercy is not easily present or other
things either,true knowledge, repose etc All of us people partly
do this ,it is a shadow of creativity maybe.

then what is the way back,if doors are locked from within and
almost everyone in some part of their life if not the large part
has locked a door from within, how without violation of freedom
wbich is another Name let us say of God, can the prisoners come
forth...?

One way to express this is that we trust in our liberation from
our untrue dreams, in the active nature of Mercy...that it is
mercy of an acting love...
that it is as some alchemist said only comparable to what it
really is "The Resurrection of the Dead".

Perhaps this goes towards what answer I could give? Do problems
remain?
