One of the reasons the Corporal Works of Mercy are so important to Christ is because he wants to know that we care about other people. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked – these are opportunities to bring consolation to people who are suffering.
The CMA is all about the Corporal Works of Mercy, and this new podcast/video interview series is all about the Spiritual Work of Mercy: Consoling the Suffering.
Few people realize that everybody truly suffers. Not enough people realize how much our faith has to offer those who suffer.
Seven recently ordained priests were interviewed, and we talked about how to help people when they’re suffering. Maybe this applies to you, and maybe this is something you can share with others.
Either way, these are worthwhile Lenten reflections.
