Next time, I’ll offer some ideas for practicing the works of mercy with our whole family beyond our front doors.
Today, I’ll focus on how we can live out the works of mercy in our homes, and particularly how we can teach our children the works of mercy within the context of everyday family life. The spiritual works of mercy are convert the sinner, instruct the ignorant, counsel the doubtful, comfort the sorrowful, bear wrongs patiently, forgive injuries, and pray for the living and the dead. The spiritual works of mercy focus on ministering to the spiritual needs of our neighbors. The corporal works of mercy are feed the hungry, give drink the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the prisoner, and bury the dead. “They respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey together through this life” (USCCB ). The corporal works of mercy focus on the bodily needs of our neighbors. They give Christians ways to live according to Jesus’ Great Commandment.” The corporal and spiritual works of mercy work together as paths to Salvation. To gain merit in heaven, the actions must be performed as acts of love for our neighbor as a response to our deep love for God.
