Two Feet in Love Action Essay

Two Feet in Love is two ways that we can put the Gospel in action in response to God's love. The two ways we can put the Gospel in action is by social justice and charitable works. Charitable works are a response to immediate needs and specifications of a situation. Things you can do for these charitable works are feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, pray for their healing and visit those in prison. By completing these charitable works we strive to aid and assist those in need. Aid and assist will consist of helping locally and globally. With our help locally and globally we work towards helping people to meet their short-term, immediate needs. Good examples to help people with needs are engaging in direct service and providing food, clothes, shelter etc. The other way we can put the Gospel into action is by social justice. Social justice concerns the social, political, and economic aspect of the structural dimension of a problems and it solutions. By performing social justice acts we address the root causes of all problems facing our city, community and neighborhood. Advocating public policies and helping change social structures we can support and contribute our time to the hardships and suffering of our community and neighborhood, and we can help all problems around locally and globally. Two reasons why charity and social justice are the Two Feet in Love is because think of it as a little kid the words "two feet." Charity is one foot and social justice is the other foot. The last word "love" can be explained well because charity is showing love to charities. Alms giving to those in need, and showing love to those unfortunate people. Those people need love from human beings like us. We can show that to them through our works of charity. On the other foot (see what I did there lol=) there is social justice. Social justice is like showing love to our community, and neighborhoods. When your community goes through a tragedy, a devastation we can always turn to social justice and show some love to the place that we call home. Charity is important to our Catholic faith because as good Catholics we need to be able to give, share and care for our brothers and sisters out there going through hard times. It is our job to be good stewards and be like the image God created us to be. Social justice, just like charity, is also needed to be a good Catholic. Instead of giving money, food and time to people in despair you are helping other in your community you are giving time and money to those projects, building etc. that need work. This is also being a good steward because you are helping out your neighborhood to be a better place for you and for others around you. Back in November of 2014 Ms. Philomena over at the church office was giving out bags of Thanksgiving food to the families you can't afford a meal. I was there to pass out the turkeys and meals to those families, and I can tell you that is was an amazing experience just to see how happy and joyful those people are you would never know that they are poor. During this year we have studied a lot about two feet in love and I can say it was very important to learn about this. To see that we are not only focused about ourselves, but focused on others and what we can do for them.
