To practice charity is to always be ready to share your money, time, and talents with others. Charity is one way to return to God our blessings received from Him. We should always be ready to share whatever we have. It is always through kindness and generosity that we can love our neighbors. As Jesus said, the second commandment is to love your neighbor the way you love yourself. How fulfilling it is to realize and know that you have followed God’s commandment of loving Him by helping and loving others.
