R.C.I.A.R.C.I.A.R.C.I.A.

At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were

troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. (Mt 9:36)

Jesus was moved by the needs of the people. And filled with pity, he had mercy

on them. He healed, fed, consoled, forgave.

Pope Francis teaches us that “mercy is a key word that indicates God’s action towards us.

He does not limit himself merely to affirming his love, but makes it visible and

Tangible...Something concrete: intentions, attitudes, and behaviors

that are shown in daily living.”

The tradition names these concrete behaviors the “corporal works of mercy”:

Giving food and drink; clothing and sheltering; visiting the sick, ransoming the prisoner

and burying the dead. Alongside them are the “spiritual works of mercy”: Instructing,

counseling, and admonishing; bearing wrongs and forgiving sins;

comforting the living and praying for the living and the dead.

Have you decided yet on a plan for living out the corporal and spiritual works of mercy

each day during this Year of Mercy?
