Friendship is necessary for us as persons.
Through the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus taught us to love everyone.
Works of Mercy are concrete ways in which we can live out our Faith.
The works of mercy give us a framework to build a better society and treat everyone as we would treat Christ Himself.
As the Father loves Jesus, Jesus loves us, and Jesus wants us to love each other.
Christ not only instructs us on what the acts of mercy are; He also provides examples in His ministry.
The Church is like a family: God is our Father, the Church is our mother, and Christ is our brother.
Jesus invites us to become His disciples and follow Him by imitating His example, praying as He prays, and serving as He serves.
Our time on earth is given to us for a purpose: to prepare for our time in eternity with God.
The Works of Mercy are both physical and spiritual.
Parables are stories that teach us about God.
