\n
\n

OPERA M is a revolution in the works of mercy. It is a permanent tool for fostering a strong and renewed vision of these works throughout the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spazio + Spadoni\u2019s reE<\/strong>volution stems from a deeply felt urgency to redefine the concept of works of mercy as a journey that is always both human and divine at the same time\u2014and therefore always spiritual as well as practical (or physical). The rediscovery\u2014indeed, the true reE<\/strong>volution\u2014of these works must be found within this synthesis of the spiritual aspect and the practical act. Material action must always be imbued with the spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPERA M is based on five actions that define its method: INVOKE, call upon the Spirit LISTEN, make silence to open yourself to listening MEET, stand among the people LET’S WORK, act for the works LET’S FLOOD, bring everyone to the Works of Mercy Spiritual Works of Mercy<\/strong> To counsel the doubtful To instruct the ignorant To admonish sinners To comfort the afflicted To forgive offenses To bear patiently with troublesome people To pray to God for the living and the dead Corporal Works of Mercy<\/strong> To feed the hungry To give drink to the thirsty To clothe the naked To shelter travelers To visit the sick To visit the imprisoned To bury the dead<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
