The works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our
neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities.241 Instructing,
advising, consoling, comforting are spiritual works of mercy, as are forgiving
and bearing wrongs patiently. the corporal works of mercy consist especially in
feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the
sick and imprisoned, and burying the dead.242 Among all these, giving
alms to the poor is one of the chief witnesses to fraternal charity: it is also
a work of justice pleasing to God:243

upright conscience, finds its justification in the distinction between serving
God and serving the political community. “Render therefore to Caesar the
things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”48
“We must obey God rather than men”:49

fruits of the redemption accomplished by Christ. He makes partners in his
heavenly glorification those who have believed in him and remained faithful to
his will. Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated
into Christ.
