January 18

Chapter 4 pt. 1

The Rule of Benedict January 18

Contained in this first section of Chapter 4 on the Tools for Good Works are some of what are known as the 7 corporal works for mercy:

1. feeding the hungry
2. giving drink to the thirsty
3. clothing the naked
4. sheltering the homeless
5. visiting the sick
6. ransoming the prisoner
7. burying the dead

In our order, our deacon has been called to help us and our community put these works into practice.
