March 21
Thursday of the Second Week of Lent
Read
Yesterday, we read about the corporal works of mercy, and today we will focus on the spiritual works of mercy, which have long been a part of the Christian tradition, appearing in the works of theologians and spiritual writers throughout history.
Reflect
Forgiving others is difficult at times because we do not have God's limitless mercy and compassion. But Jesus teaches us that we should forgive as God forgives, relying on him to help us show others the mercy of God. Are there grudges you are holding on to that you should let go of?
Pray
Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy today.
Act
In practicing one of the spiritual works of mercy, forgiving others, make an effort to go to Confession before Easter.
