This is just what I was looking for. In our Sunday Missal 1Cor 15:21 reads “For since death came through a human being, the resurection of the dead has also come through a human being” The RSVCE uses the word man. Is it not incorrect to say that Jesus is a human being?

Human being is the same thing as man. Man is not meant to be male, but mankind, (or Humankind). Jesus was fully part of mankind since he was fully man as well as fully God.

these actions described by Jesus are commonly called the corporal works of mercy. The spiritual works of mercy are also prescribed elswhere by Jesus, but this reading deals specifically with meeting the material needs of the poor and helpless. It is very clear and unambiguous. As St. Augustine reminds us, when scripture speaks of the Lord commanding a good action, the prescription is to be taken in its literal sense.

Yes, you are right. My mistake.
