Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.

Mercy--in a time of wretchedness. Therefore mercy stands first; the mercy of Christ (Jde 1:21). peace--in the Holy Ghost (Jde 1:20). love--of God (Jde 1:21). The three answer to the divine Trinity. be multiplied--in you and towards you.
Albert Barnes Presbyterian
These three blessings, mercy in pardon and acceptance, peace with God and conscience, love toward Him and all men, encompass every good thing worth praying for. What greater gifts could you receive?

John Calvin Reformed
Mercy is God's compassion toward our misery, from which grace itself flows; peace and love belong to God as well. The wish is that His mercy, peace, and love increase toward you daily and strengthen your assurance of His love in your hearts.
