Trynitarne podstawy posługi charytatywnej Kościoła

Abstract

The Church’s charitable service is a practical form of putting into practice God’s commandment of love of the neighbour given to Christ’s disciples, on His inspiration and in close unity with Him. The Divine Persons’ intra-trinitary love is the ontological foundation of human love. Also the Church’s charitable service has its origin, its roots and aim in the eternal existence of God-Love. The truth about the Holy Trinity shows that love is God’s gift and man is called to accept this gift. The Church is a community of persons called to everyday life with love. Charitable service is a necessary action for introducing people who are in need into the experience of God’s love. The Trinitarian dogma also shows the meaning and aim of all actions increasing people’s mutual love. Participation in God’s love and glory for ever will be a complement for human love’s deficiencies as well as a reward for the offered sacrifices.
