A Time For Balance
From the Pastor
In today’s Gospel reading (Lk 6:36) Jesus
tells us that we are to be merciful just as our
Father is merciful. We are coming to the end of
the Jubilee Year of Mercy (Nov. 20) In these final
weeks of this Jubilee, make a list of what you’ve
done to show mercy during the year; then make a
list of what you will continue to do to show mercy
in the coming year.
Corporal Works:
To feed the hungry;
To give drink to the thirsty;
To clothe the naked;
To shelter the homeless;
To visit the sick;
To ransom the captive;
To bury the dead.
Spiritual Works
To instruct the ignorant;
To counsel the doubtful;
To admonish sinners;
To bear wrongs patiently;
To forgive offenses willingly;
