Charity is a natural virtue is to love each other and not be indifferent to anyone and no one is indifferent, is to comply with the commandment of God, is not giving alms by obligation there is no charity if there is no love. It is a mere compassion, which can be a transitory emotion or a desire without realization, requires the cooperation of the will and a permanent disposition to help the neighbor in need. If love embraces all moral obligations, charity is a manifestation towards our fellow beings, whether in temporal or spiritual needs.
For example visiting the poor and the sick once a week and devoting an hour to console an afflicted heart, that consolation that you carry with sacrifice on your part is the guarantee that you are fulfilling a Christian and manly duty, not wait for them to ask you to act fraternally, do not think that you are giving more than what you receive. Who consoles a sad heart actually receives much more than it gives.
Charity thus becomes the caress of God for each person, through the selfless service of the believer.
