We are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world.

Corporal Works of Mercy
Feed the hungry
Give drink to the thirsty
Clothe the naked
Shelter the homeless
Visit the sick
Visit the imprisioned
Bury the dead
 
 Spiritual Works of Mercy
Admonish the sinner
Instruct the ignorant
 Counsel the doubtful
 Comfort the sorrowful
 Bear wrongs patiently
 Forgive all injuries
 Pray for the living and the dead
 
 
 Pope Francis Prayer for Jubilee Year of Mercy 

Lord Jesus Christ,
you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Show us your face and we will be saved.

You are the visible face of the invisible Father,
of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy:
let the Church be your visible face in the world.

Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm,
may bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed,
and restore sight to the blind.  

We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy,
you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.

Amen.
