Corporal & Spiritual Works of Mercy

"Thus the Jubilee will be celebrated both in Rome and in the Particular Churches as a visible sign of the Church's universal communion."
Pope Francis

Jesus asks us to follow him by identifying with and showing compassion to people most in need. It is a holy calling. Pope Francis has said, "The preaching of Jesus is made visible once more in the response of faith which Christians are called to offer by their witness." The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy outlines the roots of mercy as presented in Scripture, and then delves deeply into each of the corporal and spiritual works, enlivening our commitment to our common humanity.
