Practicing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy should be an essential part of our daily practice of Christianity; we cannot be good Christians if we do not act as Christians ought. The corporal works of mercy are well-known: to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, ransom the captive, and bury the dead. Their practice insures that the temporary, physical needs of our fellow humans are met. The spiritual works of mercy, because they focus on our spiritual needs, are arguably more important, since they concern the well-being of our immortal souls.
