When Jesus asked us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and visit the imprisoned, he didnt mean it literally, right? Kerry Weber, a modern, young, single woman in New York City sets out to see if she can practice the Corporal Works of Mercy in an authentic, personal, meaningful manner while maintaining a full, robust, regular life. Weber, a lay Catholic, explores the Works of Mercy in the real world, with a gut-level honesty and transparency that people of urban, country, and suburban locales alike can relate to. Mercy in the City is for anyone who is struggling to live in a meaningful, merciful way amid the pressures of real life.
For those who feel they are already overscheduledand too busy, for those who assume that they are notreligious enough to practice the Works of Mercy,for those who worry that they are alone in theirefforts to live an authentic life, Mercy in the Cityproves that by living as people for others, we learn toconnect as people of faith.
