    Study Notes

    To Admonish the Sinner

    • To admonish someone means to gently but earnestly point out the likely consequences of a dangerous, risky, or unhealthy choice.
    • Admonishing a sinner is an act of kindness, not judgment or condemnation.
    • It requires humility and quiet joy, and should not be done to subtly judge or condemn someone else.

    To Instruct the Ignorant

    • This spiritual work of mercy refers to the absence of information one is required to have, not just a lack of knowledge.
    • We are required to gain not just practical information, but moral knowledge as well.
    • Instructing the ignorant involves sharing knowledge and understanding to help them make informed decisions.

    To Counsel the Doubtful

    • Counseling someone with doubts or questions involves encouraging them to live with their doubts and take them to God in prayer.
    • It's essential to be a good listener and offer guidance to help them deal with their doubts.

    To Comfort the Sorrowful

    • Sorrow can be overwhelming and seem constant, with many causes, including injury, loss, or despair.
    • Comforting the sorrowful involves being present for them, accepting and welcoming them, and helping them to appreciate that they are loved unconditionally by God.

    To Bear Wrongs Patiently

    • This spiritual work of mercy does not mean becoming a doormat for others or tolerating injustices.
    • Rather, it involves trusting in one's own worth and refusing to let wrongs crush hope and faith.
    • It requires confidence in being loved unconditionally by God and trusting that justice will be done in the long run.

    To Forgive All Injuries

    • Forgiveness involves excusing or pardoning faults or offenses, and renouncing anger or resentment.
    • It's essential to understand that forgiveness is not superficial, but rather a spiritual act of being restored to a good relationship with God and others.

    To Pray for the Living and Dead

    • This spiritual work of mercy involves intercessory prayer for the living and the dead.
    • Intercessory prayer is a basic characteristic of a heart tuned to God's mercy and involves praying for the good of others, both living and dead.
    • Catholics believe that prayer can make a difference for those who have died and are in purgatory, helping to purify them and prepare them for heaven.
