Option for the Poor and Vunerable

In the world there are a many people that need our help. These people are the poor and venerable. These people are those who need the assistance of the societies. In our basic moral testing we most know how are venerable. When we take care of the poor and those in need we must remember that Lord will check our conscience and decide whether or not we can go to heaven. When we think about ourselves, we must first decide did we put those in need before we take care of ourselves. If so, how have we done this?
In the world there are many societies that help in this cause. There is the St. Vincent de Paul Society, who helps by collecting money and clothes to the homeless. Also the missionary groups, who in time of need go to foreign countries and teach the people a useful trade and provide the essentials to increase the countries materials. Pier Giorgio Frassati is an example of this because he started many groups to help this cause of option for the poor and venerable. Other examples are Saint Francis of Assisi and Dorthy Day.

  1. Your right there are many societies who help those who need assissstence, and we should be thinking about how we can put others before ourselves.
