After spending so many months learning about Catholic Social Teaching, The Catholic Campaign for Human Development, and Two Feet of Love in Action, it has inspired me to be a better Catholic. First, let me explain what Two Feet of Love in Action is about. Two Feet of Love in Action is a two-fold project that consists of social justice and charity. Social justice is where everyone gets or deserves what they need. Charity is assisting others through charitable works. I have learned that doing charitable goods and promoting social justice will make you a better disciple of Christ and bring you closer to God.

When you first hear "Two Feet of Love in Action," you probably wouldn't think of social justice and charity. Why is social justice and charity included in Two Feet of Love in Action? Social justice and charity help us become better disciples of Christ and bring us closer to God. It's how God wants us to live. Since social justice and charity make up Two Feet of Love in Action, the feet represent us walking in the path God wants us to follow. When we show social justice and charity, we are following God's will and it is leading us in the path of eternal life with God in heaven. Social justice and charity are important in our Catholic faith because when we give and receive social justice and charity, we are walking humbly with God. God wants us to treat one another how we want to be treated, and if we would want someone to give us those things if we were in a bad situation, we should do the same for others. Social justice and charity help us understand how God wants us to live. When we understand God's plan for us, we can become better children of God.

I'm sure almost everyone has experienced social justice or charity at one point in their life. They may have given it, or even received it. One time I gave charity. I volunteered at Metropolitan Ministries with my class. It was great to see the smile on the people's faces that I helped. I worked in the clothing outreach, where they gave clothes to the homeless that couldn't afford clothes at the store. Everyone that came in to get clothes was so grateful for their new clothes. Volunteering is great because if you don't have material or monetary donations, you can donate your time. The people that I saw come into Metropolitan looked so lost, and when they left they had a smile on their face because of the service they were given by the volunteers and workers, and also their goods they needed to get back on their feet.

Two Feet of Love in Action is a great way for people to get closer to God while serving their community. When we give charity and social justice, we are living how God wants us. Social justice and charity are important to our Catholic faith because it brings us closer to God. Two Feet of Love in Action help us walk humbly with God and become better children of God.
