Reminder: Year of Mercy

I think it is important to periodically remind ourselves that we are living in a Year of Mercy.

Corporal Works of Mercy

Feed the hungry
Give drink to the thirsty
Clothe the naked
Shelter the homeless
Visit the sick
Visit the imprisoned
Bury the dead


Spiritual Works of Mercy

Counsel the doubtful
Instruct the ignorant
Admonish sinners
Comfort the afflicted
Forgive offenses
Bear wrongs patiently
Pray for the living and the dead

If you have not yet read Pope Francis' "The Face of Mercy," here is a link:
