“The Church's deepest nature is expressed in her three-fold responsibility: of proclaiming the word

  • f God, celebrating the sacraments

and exercising the ministry of charity. These duties presuppose each other and are inseparable. For the Church, charity is not a kind of welfare activity which could equally well be left to others, but is a part of her nature, an indispensable expression of her very being.”
