At the Bedside
This summer, I visited hospital patients in New York City. Over the course of these eight weeks, I met people of various faiths and traditions. Among Catholic patients, it was not uncommon to see a rosary at their bedside. As they endured the trial of their hospital stays, they kept their beads within arm’s reach. For many patients, their rosary was a token of hope and comfort, a reminder that Mary... [Read more...]

Editor’s note: This is the fifth and final post in a series highlighting the corporal and spiritual works of mercy during this Jubilee Year of Mercy. The souls of the just are in the hands of God and no torment may touch them. It seemed in the eyes of the foolish that they were dead … but they are at peace. (Wis 3:1–3) Boromir, shot with many...

Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body (Heb 13:3). Although Christ explicitly exhorts us (Mt 25:31-46) and the Scriptures... [Read more...]

Mercy You Can Trust
Editor’s note: This is the third post in a series highlighting the corporal and spiritual works of mercy during this Jubilee Year of Mercy. “Wow, he can do that?” The child from the South Bronx parish was not watching Cristiano Ronaldo perform a pro soccer move. In fact, the white-robed friar in front of him probably would have spurred a mental revolution with the slightest athletic feat. Somehow, even the youngest believe that the “normal”... [Read more...]
Don’t Leave Him Naked
Editor’s note: This is the second post in a series highlighting the corporal and spiritual works of mercy during this Jubilee Year of Mercy. You’ve seen him lying on the sidewalks. Perhaps it was January, and his skin was ice blue. Or maybe it was August, and he was sunburned red as blood. And he was naked, or almost so. I don’t need to tell you to care for him, to clothe him. Few sights evoke pity and mercy in us like this one, few... [Read more...]
Let’s Eat.
Editor’s note: This is the first post in a series highlighting the corporal and spiritual works of mercy during this Jubilee Year of Mercy. Like any good native South Carolinian, I’ve spent a healthy amount of time in Charleston, one of the best cities our country has to offer. Its natural charm and consistent upkeep on preserving its cultural identity as an old Southern city render it nearly impossible to avoid whenever it isn’t overladen... [Read more...]
