Yes. thank you. Of far more importance in my mind is the question of just how limited resources and time of a person or organization should be expended, whether providing material needs as a priority or teaching the Scriptures with charity making that possible as in the case of Christ providing for the crowds that stayed to hear him.

Thanks for your reply. It is a good question. But, when people are starving and dying, triage becomes a consideration.

Also there are Jesus’s words: “They will know you are my disciples by how you love one to another. And, you may remember St. Francis’s: “Preach always and when necessary, use words.”

In my own life, I’ve found many cases where it is best when people ask first. Maybe it’s a case that you have something good, you don’t have to force it on others, folks steal it. :)
