Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one 
of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?  In the same way,                                                              faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.   James 2:15-17 
 
In conclusion, James 2:15-17 is a powerful reminder of the inseparable link between faith and works. It underscores the importance of active compassion and practical assistance towards those in need, and it challenges believers to evaluate the true nature of their faith.
The Social Justice Commission uses key Catholic principles to guide our work. The “Two Feet of Love in Action” is a Catholic social teaching concept that describes two ways to respond to God's love: charitable works and social justice. These two concepts are complementary, but distinct, and are often referred to as "the two feet of social justice".  Charitable works assist or aid with immediate or short-term needs, while social justices address the root cause of the problem.  We invite you to get involved in this important work. The primary support for our work is funded by your donations. By giving now, you can provide critical support for families in need — and inspire others to follow your lead. Thanks to the Match Campaign, made possible by the Jessie Ball duPont Foundation, all donations made online through December 31 will be matched up to $15,000. This match allows your generosity to extend twice as far!                    Cyndy Logue
