Do these works of mercy apply specifically to the individual spiritual seeker? Does practicing mercy in the realm of body and soul have anything to do with your relationship with Jesus Christ? Yes, yes, and yes indeed! Jesus Christ showed us what it means to live as "embodied spirits," body and soul united into one, single nature. He taught us the relationship between our body and soul, how they relate, that each must be cared for and attended to; that to practice mercy means providing for and nurturing our neighbor, body and soul. Rooted in Scripture and sacred Tradition, The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy: Living Christian Love and Compassion communicates the mercy of Jesus Christ -- and how to model that mercy in your own life -- in ways having both bodily and spiritual effects. As noted in the Introduction, Mitch Finley presents "a spirituality for regular folks who live in the real, everyday world...a program of faith for the home and the workplace and all the ordinary places in-between that we all inhabit on a daily basis." What does it mean to "admonish the sinner"? To "bear wrongs patiently"? To "clothe the naked" and "bury the dead"? It means to share in the mercy of Christ. Mitch Finley offers practical advice and firm encouragement in guiding you to living the Christian love and compassion of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Book jacket.

"With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy toward you." - Jeremiah 31:3 Fr. Pacwa's Bible studies for Catholics have captivated parish study groups for years. He takes vast topics like the Eucharist, Mary, and the Faith, and breaks them down into useful and accessible lessons we can carry with us always. Now in his new book Mercy: A Bible Study Guide for Catholics Fr. Pacwa leads us to a deeper understanding of mercy through the study of Israel's long, slow struggle to experience mercy. By looking carefully at their experience of turning away and returning to God, we begin to understand that God's love, shown through His mercy, is more powerful than sin. Perfect for a parish small group study, or for personal reflection, each of the six sessions in Mercy: A Bible Study Guide for Catholics will help us rediscover the incredible history of God's mercy in our own lives, which in turn will lead us to an understanding of the importance of extending God's love and mercy to the world around us.

Mitch Finley's warmhearted recollection of growing up Catholic is more than nostalgia. It's a mixture of fond memories, gentle humor, and lasting gratitude for what he learned in Catholic schools--simple and profound lessons that gave him a solid foundation for living in times marked by turmoil and change. The lessons he writes about include: Life Is Worth Living; The World Deserves Our Attention; Life Needs Prayer Like a Tree Needs Water; Everybody Has a Vocation; The Universe Is Sacramental; God Loves Everybody the Same; Nobody's Perfect; Jesus Is with Us; Everybody Has a Guardian Angel. One need not be Catholic to enjoy this gentle celebration of truths that last. Mitch Finley's journey is one that each of us has taken--and continues to take--in our own way. His joyful reminder is simply cause for more gratitude and plenty of delight.

A fresh look at the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. If you've wondered what the corporal and spiritual works of mercy are--or you want to incorporate them more authentically into your interactions with others--this book is for you. Shea's unique wit and wisdom permeate these pages, bringing the works of mercy alive in practical ways and dealing with the difficulties that arise when trying to apply them now. How, for instance, do we "ransom the captive" in our present day, much less think of it as a virtue and not as a capitulation to terrorists? In a civilization where the poor suffer from obesity, what do we do about the command to feed the hungry? What does it mean to forgive? This book tackles the works of mercy in a reverent way, with attention to the many puzzles and complications that arise for the faithful Catholic who tries to live out the works of mercy.
