Chapter 4 pt. 1
The Rule of Benedict May 19
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
The establishment of Benedict's Closet in our Parish is a wonderful beginning to our community's practice of the corporal works of mercy. Let us each find ways to engage this new ministry with our time and resources.
