Love or Charity, cannot be used as a means of engaging in what is nowadays considered proselytism. Love is free; it is not practised as a way of achieving other ends. But this does not mean that charitable activity must somehow leave God and Jesus Christ aside.

For it is always concerned with the whole human being. Often the deepest cause of suffering is the very absence of God. Those who practise charity in the Church's name will never seek to impose the Church's faith upon others.

They realize that a pure and generous love is the best witness to the God in whom we believe and by whom we are driven to love. A Christian knows when it is time to speak of God and when it is better to say nothing and to let love alone speak. He and she knows that God is Love - cf.1 John 4:8 -and that God's presence is felt at the very time when the only thing we do is to love. He and she knows - to return to the questions raised - that disdain for love is disdain God and human being alike; it is an attempt to do without God. Consequently, the best defence of God and human being consists precisely in love.

With regard to the personnel who carry out the Church's charitable activity on the practical level, the essential has already been said; they must not be inspired by ideologies aimed at improving the world, but should rather be guided by the faith which works through love - cf.Galatian 5:6 - Consequently, more than anything, they must be persons moved by Jesus Christ's love, persons whose hearts Christ has conquered with his love, awakening within them a love of neighbour. " the love of Jesus Christ urges us on " - 2 Corinthians 5:4 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
