The seven practices of charity toward our neighbor, based on Christs prophecy of the Last Judgment, that will determine each persons final destiny:
Mt 25:34 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And the king will answer them, Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to me.
The corporal works of mercy are oriented toward the body. The spiritual works of mercy are oriented toward the soul.
RE: Matthew 25. Straight from the Heart of God into your heart. & Then, through your hands & computer to our computer screens. Praise God.
I heard a Priest from Kenya on EWTN say something like this, “The longest journey anyone can make is moving the Word of God from the brain down into the heart.”
