8. LE Q 866. WHAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF
THE WORD CHARITY AS EMPLOYED BY
JESUS?
•
"BENEVOLENCE FOR EVERY ONE, INDULGENCE FOR THE IMPERFECTIONS OF OTHERS, FORGIVENESS OF
INJURIES."
•
LOVE AND CHARITY ARE THE COMPLEMENT OF THE LAW OF JUSTICE; FOR, TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR IS TO DO HIM
ALL THE, GOOD IN OUR POWER, ALL THAT WE SHOULD WISH TO HAVE DONE TO OURSELVES.
•
CHARITY, ACCORDING TO JESUS, IS NOT RESTRICTED TO ALMS-GIVING, BUT EMBRACES ALL OUR RELATIONS
WITH OUR FELLOW-MEN WHETHER OUR INFERIORS, OUR EQUALS, OR OUR SUPERIORS. IT PRESCRIBES
INDULGENCE ON OUR PART, BECAUSE WE NEED THE SAME OURSELVES; IT FORBIDS US TO HUMILIATE THE
UNFORTUNATE, AS IS TOO OFTEN DONE. HOW MANY, WHO ARE READY TO LAVISH RESPECT AND ATTENTIONS ON
THE RICH, APPEAR TO THINK IT NOT WORTH THEIR WHILE TO BE CIVIL TO THE POOR; AND YET, THE MORE
PITIABLE THE SITUATION OF THE LATTER, THE MORE SCRUPULOUSLY SHOULD WE REFRAIN FROM ADDING
HUMILIATION TO MISFORTUNE. HE WHO IS REALLY KIND ENDEAVOURS TO RAISE HIS INFERIOR IN HIS OWN
ESTIMATION, BY DIMINISHING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM.

1. ADORATION
2. LABOUR
3. REPRODUCTION
4. PRESERVATION
5. SOCIETY
6. EQUALITY
7. LIBERTY,
8. JUSTICE,
9. LOVE, AND
10. CHARITY
The Law of Charity includes ALL
"THE DIVISION OF THE LAW OF GOD INTO TEN PARTS IS THAT OF MOSES, AND MAY BE MADE TO INCLUDE ALL
THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE, WHICH IS THE ESSENTIAL POINT. YOU MAY THEREFORE ADOPT IT, WITHOUT ITS
BEING HELD TO HAVE ANY ABSOLUTE VALUE, ANY MORE THAN THE VARIOUS OTHER SYSTEMS OF
CLASSIFICATION WHICH DEPEND ON THE ASPECT UNDER WHICH THE SUBJECT IS CONSIDERED. THE LAST OF
THOSE PARTS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT; BECAUSE THE LAW OF CHARITY INCLUDES ALL THE OTHERS, AND IT IS
THEREFORE THROUGH THE OBSERVANCE OF THIS LAW THAT MANKIND ADVANCES MOST RAPIDLY IN SPIRITUAL
LIFE."
