THE CORPORAL & SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY Do you remember these terms from Catechism? Jesus said - in Matthew 25 - that we would be judged by whether or not we were "merciful" to the least of our brethren. The Corporal Works of Mercy is a list of ways to comfort those in need. The Spiritual Works of Mercy is a list of ways to console people in their mind and heart. Pope Francis has encouraged us to practice these works in this Year of Mercy. On this Sunday, when we read the Gospel of the Good Samaritan, we present them to you: The Corporal Works of Mercy: 1. To feed the hungry; 2. To give drink to the thirsty; 3. To clothe the naked; 4. To shelter the homeless; 5. To visit the sick; 6. To visit the imprisoned; 7. To bury the dead

The Spiritual Works of Mercy 1. To counsel the doubtful; 2. To instruct the ignorant; 3. To admonish the sinner; 4. To comfort the sorrowful; 5. To forgive injuries; 6. To bear wrongs patiently; 7. To pray for the living and the dead.

As you read these lists, don't you sense in your heart that this is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus? At the end of thre Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus asked: "`Which of these, in your opinion, was neighbor to the man who fell in with robbers?' The answer came: `The one who treated him with compassion!' Jesus said to him: `Then go and do the same!'" [Luke 10.36-37]

Our Food Pantry has put into practice many of these works. Under the direction of Shirley Ray, we carry out a weekly distribution of food to the poor. Holy Cross c Helpers, under the direction of Jean M Clain, also maintains a program of Visiting the Sick at Home and Visiting the Congregation Nursing Home. Also, under the direction of Brigitte Bien-Aimé, may homebound Haitian sick are visited by Eucharistic ministers every week. We hope to expand these programs. But it is not only organized programs that fulfil the Works of Mercy - Your neighbor is someone near you who is in need! You too - go and do the same!

LES ŒUVRES CORPORELLES ET SPIRITUELLES DE LA MISÉRICORDE Souvenez-vous de ces termes du Catéchisme? Jésus a dit - en Matthieu 25 - qu'Il nous allait juger selon si nous avons été "miséricordieux" aux plus petits de nos frères. Les Œuvres Corporelles de la Miséricorde est une liste de façons de conforter ceux qui en ont besoin. Les Œuvres Spirituelles de la Miséricorde est une liste de comment consoler ceux qui souffrent de cœur et d'âme. Pape François nous a encouragé à pratiquer ces œuvres dans cette Année de la Miséricorde. À l'occasion de ce dimanche, où nous lisons l'Évangile du Bon Samaritain, nous vous les présentons: Les Œuvres Corporelles de Miséricorde Les Œuvres Spirituelles de Miséricorde 1. Donner nourriture aux affamés; 1. Donner conseil à ceux qui doutent; 2. Donner à boire à ceux qui ont soif; 2. Instruire les ignorants; 3. Habiller les nus; 3. Avertir le pécheur; 4. Donner abri à ceux qui sont sans logis; 4. Consoler ceux qui sont dans la douleur; 5. Visiter les malades; 5. Pardonner les injures; 6. Visiter ceux qui sont prisonniers; 6. Supporter les offenses avec patience; 7. Enterrer les morts; 7. Prier pour les vivants et les morts; En lisant ces listes, ne croyezvous pas dans votre cœur que c'est comme ça l'Esprit du Seigneur Jésus? À la fin de la Parabole du Bon Samaritain, Jésus a demandé: "`Lequel de ceux-ci, à ton avis, s'est montré le prochain de l'homme qui était tombé sur les bandits?' On répondit: `C'est celui qui a fait preuve de bonté envers lui!' Jésus lui dit: `Va, et toi aussi, fais de même!'" [Luc 10.36-37]

LAS OBRAS CORPORALES Y ESPIRITUALES DE LA MISERICORDIA ¿Te acuerdas de estos términos en el Catecismo? Jesús dijo - en Mateo 25 - que nos iba a juzgar según si hemos sido ``misericordiosos'' con los más pequeños de nuestros hermanos. Las Obras Corporales de la Misericordia es una lista de maneras de confortar a los que necesitan. Las Obras Espirituales de la Misericordia es una lista de cómo consolar a los que sufran de corazón y de alma. El Papa Francisco nos ha animado a practicar estas obras de la misericordia en este Año de la Misericordia. En la ocasión de este domingo, cuando leemos el Evangelio de Buen Samaritano, se las presentamos a ustedes: Las Obras Corporales de Misericordia: Las Obras Espirituales de Misericordia 1. Dar de comer al hambriento; 1. Aconsejar al que duda; 2. Dar de beber al sediento; 2. Instruir al ignorante; 3. Dar de vestir al desnudo; 3. Corregir al pecador; 4. Dar albergue al desahuciado; 4. Consolar a los afligidos; 5. Visitar a los enfermos; 5. Perdonar toda injuria; 6. Visitar a los confinados; 6. Soportar las ofensas pacientemente; 7. Dar sepultura a los muertos 7. Orar por los vivos y los muertos. Al leer estas listas, ¿no te puedes sentir en el corazón que es así el Espíritu del Señor Jesús? Al terminar la Parábola del Buen Samaritano, Jesús preguntó: "`¿Cuál de éstos te parece que fue el prójimo del hombre asaltado por los banditos?' El maestro de la ley contestó: `¡El que tuvo compasión de él!' Jesús le dijo: `¡Pues ve y haz tú lo mismo!'" [Lucas 10.36-37]
