What is something that you can do to share your faith with others? How can you live as a disciple of God?
Follow the Beatitudes (Jesus teachings from the Sermon on the Mount- the way to live the Law of Love)
The church gives us the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy to guide us in living the life of mercy and compassion. These Works of Mercy are part of the Church’s social teachings; a collection of principles that guide us to moral living as a holy community. Yet the Works of Mercy are not just an idea; they are concrete, practical things that we can do to live the Gospel. They clearly show that holiness is not just an idea but something we must practice every day. Holiness is a life of true courage, a life that requires God’s grace.
