And let us enter more deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience of God’s mercy. Jesus introduces us to these works of mercy in his preaching so that we can know whether or not we are living as his disciples. Let us rediscover these corporal works of mercy: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead.
Na tuingie ndani zaidi katika kiini cha Injili pale ambapo maskini wanaonja kwa namna ya pekee huruma ya Mungu. Yesu anatuingiza kwenye kazi hizi za huruma katika mahubiri yake ili tuweze kujua kama tunaishi kama wafuasi wake au la. Hebu tuzigundue upya hizi matendo ya huruma ya kimwili: kulisha wenye njaa, kuwanywesha wenye kiu, kuwavika walio uchi, kuwakaribisha wageni, kuwaponya wagonjwa, kuwatembelea wafungwa na kuzika wafu.
