This morning, after my prayers, I happened across this page and was reminded that it's been a long time since I had given them much study. My granddaughters are well versed in some of them ("Grandma, that's a naughty word! Put a quarter in the jar!") and ("It's time to pray for Daddy to get better") but they have trouble with others, as do we all at times.

Scripture backs up these works; I am certain that most of us can recall scriptures that pertain to each one; I am very interested in reading Catholic FReepers thoughts on these, and I want to thank the Catholic FReepers who have shown us these works in their posts.

So I am hoping for an informal study, and looking forward to reading your thoughts. Links are appreciated.

I have the Spiritual and the Corporal Works of Mercy framed in counted cross-stitch in my foyer. Anyone who enters my house - Catholic or otherwise - knows the focus of my family.

I think we all can all read through this list and realize that we are good at some and not so good at others.

"7. Pray for the living and the dead "

Sometimes this is the only positive thing we can do for some.
