Wisdom from Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.

 
 
 

Saint Augustine wrote that the whole appearance of Jesus on the Cross invites us to come to him: his head is bent down as if to kiss us, his arms are extended wide as if to embrace us, and his heart is pierced open as if to receive us.

—Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.

PRACTICAL WISDOM

According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus will judge us on the basis of whether or not we fed him when he was hungry, gave him drink when he was thirsty, welcomed him when he was a stranger, clothed him when he was naked, and visited him when he was sick or in prison. What we have done for others, he will tell us, we have done for him. In this down-to-earth yet inspiring guide, Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., explains these Corporal Works of Mercy and illustrates multiple ways we can do them in our modern everyday life.
