Do You Have Your Own Catholic Charities?


It is Christmas time once again, have you contributed to your charities? Charity is a great virtue of Catholics by expressing their love, concern and care for their fellow men. One does not need to be a saint to become charitable, but you can actually become saint-like by giving a part of what you have to your brothers, especially the ones who are in dire need.

Giving definitely does not only concern the financial aspect. There are many of our brothers who need spiritual, moral and emotional assistance. Hopefully, the Catholic in us will prevail and see providing the needy with whatever help and aid that we can.

It is great if we can express Charity by directly sharing what we can to our brothers. Still, if we are capable of contributing to the Catholic Charities, which are institutions working for the improvement of the lives of our less fortunate Christian brothers and sisters.

What are Catholic Charities? These are groups that are actively working in all fields of human concern, with the main purpose which is to make better the lives of people. Such group work without thinking of earning profit from their humanitarian efforts. A catholic charity organization finds success not in the accumulation of financial profit but in significant improvement of the lives and welfare of our poor brothers and sisters.
As a good Christian, find in your heart to share anything that you have, financial or otherwise, this Yuletide Season. Have your own personal Catholic Charities.
