The Catholic Church describes a collection of works of mercy to fulfill the great commandment to "love they neighbor."
There are seven corporal works of mercy and seven spiritual works of mercy.
The Corporal Works of Mercy
The corporal works of mercy appeal to the physical needs of the body. Their foundation is in Jesus's teachings about the Last judgment in Matthew 25:31-46:
"Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.'"
(Matthew 25:34-36)
The corporal works of mercy are:
1. Feed the Hungry
2. Give Drink to the Thirsty
3. Clothe the Naked
4. Shelter the Homeless
5. Visit the Sick
6. Visit the Imprisoned
7. Bury the Dead
The Spiritual Works of Mercy
The spiritual works of mercy express the needs of the mind, heart, and soul.
The spiritual works of mercy are:
1. Counsel the Doubtful
2. Instruct the Ignorant
3. Admonish Sinners
4. Comfort the Sorrowful
5. Forgive Offenses
6. Bear Wrongs Patiently
7. Pray for the Living and the Dead
