The kanji for it are 慈愛. 慈 means mercy, 愛 means love, affection, or favorite. Together, you read it as charity, affection, kindness, or love.

So yes, it does contain the character for mercy, but that's only one part of the whole word. If you wish to suggest something different than 'kindness', than suggest a word that would imply both mercy and love together. Merciful love, love out of mercy. That kind of stuff.
