I am not sure which is harder doing the Corporal Works of Mercy (CWOM) or being able to spell Corporal. We will use this space to learn and discuss more about the CWOM. What do we know about the Corporal Works of Mercy? Do you know how many there are? Can you name them? Where did they come from?.....**(what other questions can we ask about the CWOM?)**


 * //Jesus Christ taught that man not only receives and experiences the mercy of God, but that he is also called to practice mercy toward others. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." (Mt 5:7)//
 * //The Church sees in these words a call to action, and she tries to practice mercy. "Man attains to the merciful love of God, His mercy, to the extent that he himself is interiorly transformed in the spirit of that love towards his neighbor." (Pope John Paul II, Rich in Mercy, 14)//

Your first assignment is to answer the questions asked in the opening paragraph about the CWOM and then to come up with at least 2 other questions about the CWOM so that we as a class can look for the answers and discuss our findings. These can be general questions about the CWOM or about a specific work. Enter your answers in the [|discussion] area so others can see your posts and respond to them.
