14 Ways to Reflect God's Mercy

Authors Claire Couche, Neena Gaynor, and Elizabeth Marcolini blend personal stories with Biblical wisdom on living out the Corporeal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. From Jesus’ parable in the Gospel of St. Matthew, Holy Mother Church has compiled the seven corporal works of mercy and the seven spiritual works of mercy. Our hope is that even those who have never heard of these works of mercy will recognize us as God’s faithful flock, that they will know us by our love, and that we will grow closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by seeing and serving him in the least of these. Read the Bible verses with fresh eyes, taking in the light that pours from the pages of Sacred Scripture. Place yourself in the story and practice living the Works of Mercy.
