Little Everyday Ways to Live the Works of Mercy

Feed the Hungry: Take a friend or coworker out for a meal and offer to pay. Invite someone over for dinner. Keep granola bars or other small snacks with you in case someone ever needs a quick bite to eat.
Give Drink to the Thirsty: Leave your change in the vending machine. Brink extra water to parks or sporting events just in case. Give a friend or coworker a couple of dollars to get a drink and tell them not to pay you back.
Clothe the Naked: Let a friend borrow your jacket if they’re cold. When you buy new clothes, try to give some of your old clothes away. Always donate instead of throwing away- if the clothes are in good condition.
Shelter the Homeless: Invite a friend to stay over if they’re having a rough time at home.
Visit the Sick: When a friend/classmate/coworker is absent, check on them. If it’s a classmate, offer to give them the notes they missed. If a family member is sick, make them soup or offer to bring them their medicine. Call an elderly relative.
Visit the Imprisoned: Be kind to someone trapped by a bad reputation. Pray for your state/country’s prisoners, especially death row inmates.
Bury the Dead: When you visit a graveyard, pull weeds around some of the graves that are not well maintained or pick up trash as you walk. Volunteer to help in any way you can when a loved one passes, or even the loved one of a loved one.
Counsel the Doubtful: When someone asks you for advice, listen patiently and be genuinely helpful when you answer them. Wish a friend or coworker good luck before a test/presentation/interview. Pay attention to others and point out the strengths which you admire in them.
Instruct the Ignorant: Be patient when someone asks you a question. Read a book to a young relative/neighbor, or help them with homework.
Admonish Sinners: Be open and honest when you do something you shouldn’t; it’s an amazing example for others. When someone asks your opinion about a moral issue, tell the truth.
Comfort the Sorrowful: Send a kind message to someone who is having a hard time. Listen when someone needs to vent. Be considerate when you discuss mental health issues. Smile at a stranger who looks sad; tell them to have a nice day.
Forgive Offenses/Bear Wrongs Patiently: When someone cuts you off in traffic, pray that they arrive at their destination safely and quickly. Be the first to apologize when you argue with a friend. Be friendly to someone who is rude to you. Help someone to remedy a mistake they have made. Let it go when someone corrects you even though you are right.
Pray for the Living and the Dead: Pick people in your life and say a prayer for them! And always pray for the souls in purgatory 🙂
