March 20
Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent
Read
During Lent, it is important for us to remember the corporal works of mercy, which are found in the teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how we should treat all others: as if they were Christ in disguise.
Reflect
What small changes would allow you to perform corporal works of mercy: Can you allocate your time differently, so you have a couple extra hours to volunteer? Do you discard food that could instead be donated to a local soup kitchen? When was the last time you participated in a blood drive?
Pray
With mercy on your mind, revisit Pope Francis’s Year of Mercy Prayer.
Act
Pick one of the seven corporal works of mercy and do it this week!
