“While you sit at your keyboards and dissect the subtleties of the meanings of words, orphans hunger, widows hurt, prisoners languish, and the sick suffer and die alone”.
I’m a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus and my council is rated one of the top councils in the country. We stay constantly busy helping........but not limited to.
“hungry orphans, widows who are hurting, prisoners in languish, and the sick and suffering, and no one ever dies alone” if we know they are dying. Plus we help out in natural disasters, we give clothing to the poor, we give wheelchairs to the needy, we money millions of dollars to charitable organizations all over the world and we sponsor seminarians. I could go on but I there’s no need.
Do you trust that these good works will eventually earn eternal life?
Ya save any souls?
You're right about that.
Matthew 6:1-4 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
