Works of Mercy Challenge: No. 7 Comfort the Afflicted

What is Mercy?

"Mercy as it is here contemplated is said to be a virtue influencing one's will to have compassion for, and, if possible, to alleviate another's misfortune. It is the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas that although mercy is as it were the spontaneous product of charity, yet it is to be reckoned a special virtue adequately distinguishable from this latter (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10198d.htm)."

Who are the afflicted?

Basically anyone suffering mental or physical distress. The jobless, the homeless, the remorseful, the family member watching their loved one die. All of us at one time.

Our challenge is to be the outstretched arms of Jesus and take action now! Not convince ourselves that someone else will handle it. Sometimes that means a simple prayer~ but often it means stepping out of our comfort zone and taking a chance. It could be hugging the stranger sobbing in the chapel or engaging someone in conversation. If we only stop and open our eyes, the opportunities will arise.

To whom will you be Jesus today?

Works of Mercy Challenge: No. 6 Visit the Sick

Close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you're homebound. Oh, sure, you have family, but everyone has a busy life, right? So what do you do all day? Well, you're homebound so you have obvious physical limitations. You are alone, almost always~ that is unless your lucky enough to have a spouse to take care of you or a Eucharistic Minister to come see you once a week.

You're forgotten.

This will never happen to you, right?

How do you know?

Help us visit the sick and lonely and remind them that God loves them too! Come with us and pray the chaplet, help us combat despair and despondency.

"Pray as much as you can for the dying. By your entreaties [that is, insistent prayers] obtain for them trust in My mercy, because they have most need of trust, and have it the least. Be assured that the grace of eternal salvation for certain souls in their final moment depends on your prayer. You know the whole abyss of My mercy, so draw upon it for yourself and especially for poor sinners. Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than would My mercy not embrace a trusting soul" (Diary, 1777).
