Catholic AnswerBelow are the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy. The Spiritual Works of Mercy are spread out all through the Scriptures, the Corporal Works of Mercy (saving the last one - that of almsgiving are all contained starting at St. Matthew 23:31, when Our Blessed Lord describes how we are going to be judged. To give alms to the poor is listed in many other places in The Bible, so should be with the list. The Corporal Works of Mercy are physical actions one can do that show God's mercy. The Catechism says specifically that works of mercy are required from every single person to put off completely the "old man" and to put on the "new man". This is covered under the punishments of sin in paragraphs 1472-1473:

1473 The forgiveness of sin and resoration of communion with God entail the remission of the eternal punishment of sin, but temporal punishment of sin remains. While patiently bearing sufferings and trials of all kinds and, when the day comes, serenely facing death, the Christian must strive to accept this temporal punishment of sin as a grace. He should strive by works of mercy and charity, as well as by prayer and the various practices of penance, [emphasis added] to put off completely the "old man" and to put on the "new man." (Eph 4:22, 24)
