Helping the needy should be done as a humble act of service to God rather than pitying them, which is a condescending attitude, but out of compassion and love, as God is present in everyone.
Fr. Dorathick
Pope Francis insists that mercy is at the very top of the Christian hierarchy of great truths, and everything falls apart whenever mercy is displaced by anything else.

To become a saint is not for some chosen people in the church, but to be a saint is a Universal call to everyone today. To be a saint is to manifest the love of God in our fellow beings. Wishing you an All Saints' Day full of divine prayers, and immense joy. ~Fr. Dorathick |

God has chosen you and made you his holy people.
He loves you.
So your new life should be like this: Show mercy to others.
Be kind, humble, gentle, and patient.
(Colossians 3:12)
Whispers For The Soul |
and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love.
Whoever lives in love lives in God,
and God in them.
Assim conhecemos o amor que Deus tem por nós |
