Questions people askQ. One of the corporal works of mercy is to bury the dead. Did Jesus contradict this when he said ‘Leave the dead to bury the dead’? How can the dead bury the dead?A. The context of this saying is important. Jesus is speaking of the undivided commitment required in those who are called to dedicate their lives to proclaiming the gospel in action or word. The person who receives this call is regarded as spiritually alive, whereas people lacking this enthusiasm are referred to as being dead. It is this undivided commitment which enables missionaries to leave home and family, painful though it may be.
