A look at the basics of Caritas
Caritas is not just an organization, it is a deeply rooted part of the Christian faith. Pope Benedict XVI In his encyclical “CARITAS IN VERITATE” he addresses Caritas as love received and given. How dbk-shop.de reports, people are called to practice charity and thus become instruments of grace. The need to promote charitable commitment remains present, especially in view of the developments in our society.
In summary, the Caritas autumn collection not only represents a collection of financial resources, but also a sign of solidarity and commitment. It is a common call for our community to become active and show a good knack for supporting the weaker.
