Welcome to this week’s Disciples Together on the Way Challenge for November 6 to 12. This week we continue with the theme of the Corporal Works of Mercy.
Each of the seven Corporal Works of Mercy are rooted in the teachings of Christ – they give us a model on how to treat one another – to see and to serve Christ in those we encounter:
So, Bishop Boyea's challenge this week is to visit the sick, the elderly or the homebound.
But, before you take this valuable action spend some time in prayer – pray for the individual or individuals you are going to visit. Pray for their needs and ask God to grant them some relief if that be His will.
Lastly, ask God to give you the grace to see His face in the people you visit. Let your ears, your mouth and your hands be Christ to them and pray that you see the face of our Lord in them as well.
