Kærlighed til de svageste - noget helt fundamentalt for Kirken.

“The Church’s deepest nature is expressed in her three-fold responsibility: of proclaiming the word of God (kerygma-martyria), celebrating the sacraments (leitourgia), and exercising the ministry of charity (diakonia)… The Church can never be exempted from practising charity as an organized activity of believers, and on the other hand, there will never be a situation where charity of each individual Christian is unnecessary, because in addition to justice man needs, and will always need, love.” Pave Benedikt den 16., Deus Caritas Est, 25 + 29.
