Christian Service
Our Catholic faith teaches that after God, people must come first. Jesus is our model in this, as in all other Christian teachings. Jesus clearly emphasized that our neighbors are to be loved, and our neighbor is every man, woman and child, but most especially those in need.
In fact, the greater the need of the person, the greater our obligation to help. We are to wish for the well-being of all, for everyone has the right to life and basic human opportunities. We are to all contribute, according to our gifts, age and abilities to the common good. The true measure of a society’s greatness is how it cares for its weakest and neediest members.
