What are the Spiritual Works of Mercy?

Explanation:
Spiritual Works of Mercy are acts of love that care for the needs of people's hearts, minds, and souls. They focus on guiding and supporting people’s inner life—comforting those who suffer, forgiving offenses, teaching and advising those who are unsure, and praying for others and for the dead. This broader focus on inner well-being is what makes them distinct from ways of helping that meet physical needs. The other choices describe caring for the body or single spiritual practices, which don’t capture the full idea of caring for the inner life.
