We must be open to God’s saving love and<br />
keep His commandments if we want to<br />
have eternal life.<br />
He has commanded us to love one<br />
another as He has loved us.<br />
Works of Mercy are concrete ways in<br />
which we can love one another as Jesus<br />
loved us.<br />
Christ not only instructs us on what<br />
the acts of mercy are; He also provides<br />
examples in His ministry.<br />
As <strong>Catholic</strong>s, we are called to be Christ in<br />
the world and build His Kingdom through<br />
our actions.<br />
