Origin:

1125–75; ME merci < OF, earlier mercit < L mercēd- (s. of mercēs) wages (LL, ML: heavenly reward), deriv. of merx goods

Synonyms:

1. forgiveness, indulgence, clemency, leniency, lenity, tenderness, mildness.

Antonyms:

1. cruelty.

After all that, I would say: good.

Im guessing it is because you have done something wrong, they forgive you for it and they hope that god does too.
