CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY FROM EARTH’S POINT OF VIEW
Michelle Gorman, RSM
7/20/23
Continuing to Honor
International Women’s Day

When you were hungry,
your food came from me.

When you were thirsty,
my rivers quenched your thirst.

When you were naked,
I covered you with my seasons.

When you were homeless,
my forests gave you shelter.

When you were sick,
my bush medicines healed you.

When you were imprisoned,
I let you wander freely without borders.

When I needed healing,
you declared an eighth Work of Mercy to care for me.

Thank you. That act of kindness can save you.

And in your death,
I will welcome you back into my essence.
