Two Feet of Love in Action is an organization that helps those who are in need of help, like poverty. The two feet represent "Social Justice" and "Charitable Works". The first foot, Social Justice, works to tackle the root causes of issues facing our communities by fighting for just public policies and helping to change the social structures that donate to suffering and injustice at home and around the world. The second foot, which is Charitable Works, is them quickly responding to needs and specific situations like feeding those who are starving, providing clothes to the naked, taking care and treating the sick, etc. Over the course of a few months we have learned about what Two Feet of Love in Action is about and many other things. I want to share my this all means to me by starting first talking about what Two Feet of Love in Action is about.

Two Feet of Love in Action means that you always know you’re going to be okay. If I lost my job for instance, and I had nowhere to go, I know that there are many organizations in my community that would help me find a home and keep me safe. To me it also means that I shouldn’t just be receiving, I should also be giving. If I give to my community and help by doing charitable works, I will know in my heart that I have done something good to give back to not my community, but to those around the world. Charity and Social Justice mean giving back to others. It means fighting for what’s right in our communities and to do our work as Catholics and to give back what God has given to us back to those in need.

Charity and Justice are important in our Catholic faith, because it means we are doing God’s will. We’re doing what God would have wanted us to do by helping his people. As part of the Christian faith, we’re like a herd of sheep. We have a shepherd who tends to us, but we also have to help one another. Doing God’s work is part of our daily walk with Christ towards heaven. I believe that it’s important for us to give back to our community because I remember when I was volunteering at Metropolitan Ministries and I was able to help those in my community. I felt happy knowing that the food I made there might have fed someone who hadn’t eaten in days. When I volunteered in 7th grade, I worked in the clothing department and got to help people find clothing not only for themselves but for their children. I felt so happy knowing that what I did that day, made an impact in someone’s life.

I believe that charity and social justice are the two feet of love in action because we should fight for the fair treatment of human beings. We are God’s creation and we should have the right to be treated the same. Since we are human beings, we should also help one another. As human beings put on this earth, we should learn to coexist with one another in harmony and stick up for one another. This is why I believe that social justice and charity are the two feet of love in action.

In conclusion, treating each other fairly is our mission as not only Catholics, but as human beings. We should strive to help one another in every way we can. If that means donating some of your time to volunteer at a shelter, or if it means sticking up for someone’s rights, we should always do what’s right. Being a catholic plays so much into Two Feet of Love in Action, I hope that one day all of us would put our two feet together to stop injustice and give back to others.
