29th October Act of Charity

Mary had the virtue of charity,

Mary loved Christ above all considerations and she gave Herself completely to Him.

Mary spent herself in service of all those whom she met and it inspires us to imitate Her in the practice of charity.

The source of Mary's charity was the Holy Spirit the same Holy Spirit that comes to us in the Sacraments.

Saint Paul declared: "For the love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died." (2 Corinthians 5:14)

"we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Mary is a tower of ardent charity inviting us to love as She does.

What better way to show our love to others through acts of charity and the smallest gift we can give people can change their lives.
