Works Of Mercy~
The unglamorous and little publicized works of mercy: the ministry of small things, feeding and sheltering, visiting the sick and incarcerated, educating, correcting, speaking a healing word, bearing wrongs, listening creatively, counseling, washing dirty feet, praying with people, are all ways of living the life of compassion. This is no minor matter. When Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:48, "Be perfect...as your heavenly Father is perfect," the same commandment is translated in Luck 6:36 as: "Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate."
"The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me." Mark 14:7
