Merciful like the Father

What are the Spiritual Works of Mercy?


While the Corporal Works of Mercy focus more on the needs of the body, the Spiritual Works focus on the needs of the soul. Just as we should help others with their physical needs, so too must we help them with their spiritual needs.

THERE ARE SEVEN SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY

Admonish the sinner

Instruct the ignorant

Counsel the doubtful

Bear wrongs patiently

Forgive offenses willingly

Comfort the afflicted

Pray for the living and the dead
