Complete Lenten Homily Series on the Corporal Works of Mercy 2023

From Saint Albert the Great's web-page on the Corporal Works of Mercy Homily Series:

We have now begun the Lenten Season and celebrate this weekend the First Sunday of Lent. Lent is a time for us to identify ONE sin that we would like to be freed from during Lent. After identifying this ONE sin we use the pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving to allow Jesus to satisfy the hunger of what we truly desire. During Lent we will be starting a new Homily Series on the Corporal Works of Mercy.

The corporal works of mercy that we will soon be reflecting on are visiting the imprisoned, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, giving drink to the thirsty, visiting the sick, burying the dead and clothing the naked. Each week we will reflect on how the work of mercy is tied to the Gospel of the week and how we can seek to live out the work of mercy in a concrete way in our life.
