It means that we must be careful to be just and merciful and be modest instead of arrogant. The prophet Michah wrote that, around the 4th or 5th chapter of his book.
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God

The prophet who emphasized making God's priorities your own was Micah, who instructed people to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. These teachings were centered on the importance of living a righteous and ethical life in accordance with God's will.
To love mercy is to prefer being kind to being correct. It is the moral lesson of the God of Abraham. In Micah 6:8 "He has shown you, o mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." The sage Hillel considered this the entirety of the Law, and everything else mere commentary. Christians are taught it is better to forgive offenses than to avenge them, and Moslems call God the All-Merciful, the Giver of Mercy. But economics has made the world too angry and competitive for the love of mercy, and so instead of lasting happiness most of us experience greed, righteous indignation and the need to get even.

This is the motto of many Catholic schools and colleges, such as St Paul's Catholic School and Performing Arts College. It is based on a revision of the verse in Micah 6:8 which reads in the World English Bible as follows:He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)It has been changed for the motto, so that it now reads like this:This is what Yahweh asks of you: to act justly; to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God.
