Support to Poor

We will always be surrounded by the poor and the needy, because they provide countless opportunities for individual service, where all are invited to practice true charity and learn to develop spontaneous, sincere compassion and love for all others. Charity requires more than merely praying for the poor and needy—it requires action.

God does notice us, hear each prayer, and watch over us; but, it is usually through another person that He meets our needs and answers our prayers. We can serve knowing we are truly instruments in God’s hands when we love and serve one another.

Who are the poor and needy?

They are those who are in need of physical, mental, emotional or spiritual care.  They include those who

• lack sufficient food, clothing and shelter
• have little or no money, goods, or other means of support
• are dependent upon charity or public support
• lack the means to obtain the comforts of life
• need employment
• need medical attention
• need education and training
• are poor in spirit, in need spiritually or emotionally, praying that someone will rescue them with friendship and love.
