[Jesus said], Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”
Where or when does charity end?
Saint Paul did put limitations on charity in classic Pauline Theology.
The highest of these standards is charity with love.
All of the works of Jesus are rooted, usually explicitly by tears, groans, and sighs, as outward indicators of expressions of divine love.
Many of his works include other Trinitarian characteristics with ‘looking to heaven‘ or revealing the Father’s presence (I know you hear me).
When we Ask in his name, we ask for the aid of the fullness of God. And, somehow/someway, a divine and perfect response.
Where does charity end? A the feet of the Father.
When does charity end? It is eternal.
Our charity begins in and from the divine life of God. So give with silence, in prayer, and with your heart open your treasury and the Lord’s.
Peace be with you,
Deacon Gerry
