Overview
In You Did It to Me, Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, has a genius for bringing together the spiritual and corporal works of mercy under the umbrella of 'The Five Scriptural Works of Mercy' that Jesus will use to judge us at the end of the world, Matthew 25:31-46. He then enriches these scriptural texts on mercy with the practical insights of St. Pope John Paul II, St. Faustina, and Pope Francis. He also has a very fertile imagination in bringing to life practical ways of implementing these works of mercy, together with a plan of action for making them concrete and livable. ""I could not recommend this book more highly."" — Bishop Robert J. Hermann, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of St. Louis

Reviews
Father Gaitley has embraced the task of discussing how we who are Christians are called to live the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. His approach is thought-provoking, challenging, and clear. He handles the material with joy and humor while providing a blue-print for practical action. You will be changed by it! -- Victoria Thorn Endorsement
As a prison chaplain who works with the largest death row in the Western hemisphere, I am grateful to Fr. Gaitley for remembering those in prison, those who our society treats as the least of our brothers and sisters. It is through the prisoners I have known that I have seen the face of Jesus shine forth. -- Fr. George Williams, SJ Endorsement Fr. Gaitley takes the traditional approach of the 14 corporal and spiritual works of mercy and fits them profoundly into the five Scriptural categories for the works of mercy.... a very practical way that will help all who read this book to live the works of mercy 'daily, concretely, and consistently.' -- Mother Olga of the Sacred Heart Endorsement n his new book, 'You Did It to Me,' Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, provides the tools to assist each one of us in being merciful in our daily lives. Father Gaitley uses extensive examples from his own life to open our eyes and our hearts to the many ways we can be more loving and merciful. Of particular help are the Action Items... -- Fr.
