THE BEST KIND OF CHARITY


"Unquestionably, the pity which we show to the poor by relieving their needs is highly commended by God. But who will deny that a far higher place is held by that zeal and effort which applies itself to the work of instruction and persuasion, and thereby bestows on souls not the passing benefits of earth but the goods that last forever." 

Saint Pius X, Encyclical on the teaching of Christian doctrine, April 15, 1905
