Abstract
The article is aimed at showing the meaning of role of mercy in Christian up-bringing. The dimensions
of Christian merciful upbringing cover the self-conscience level and self-active level where mercy takes its
place there in sanctuary of interior meeting man with God that is expressed in latent dialogue between them. It
requires understanding of the differences between notions “upbringing” and “self-upbringing”. The first one
focuses on exterior influences on a person that undergoes the process of bringing up, the second one focuses on
interior factors that need deep consciousness “pushing the person” towards more mature attitude reflected in
merciful acts of doing. These acts have the inner and outer character. They let lifelong process of upbringing
go towards transforming itself into self-upbringing one. Hence, this article is going to depict some aspects of
the latent area of experience fostering building up the mature attitude of a man.
