"The rejection of God is not only conveyed by our evil actions, but also by sins of omission, which always suppress the good works we were called to do. What counts are the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. It's not only giving; it’s giving of ourselves. Giving for the good of the body and soul of one who is in need."
