It is said that every person with a living faith incessantly suffers in charitable works in the name of Christ, nevertheless it is worthwhile to explain why this is so.

Pessimistic spirits accept the defeat of any initiatives even before they begin them.

Selfish persons will do no more than that which suits their convenience.

The lukewarm disregard the hours.

The superficial forget engagements.

The frivolous live attached to the superficial aspects of situations and things.

Opportunists desire immediate profits and advantages.

The vain expressly ignore the needs of others.

The impulsive create problems.

Every person, however, who trusts in Christ is, for that very reason, someone who strives to serve by emulating. His lessons and examples and is, therefore, singled our by Him for good works, since to call upon the slothful and indifferent is of no avail.
