Perform Your Services As Offering To God.
         1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. Matthew 6:1-4
    Charity, mercy, help, assistance or philanthropy is compulsory in life. It is not what you may or may not do. Check through the laws, statutes and precepts of God, and you will find that God does not play with charity. In fact, He places charity above religious worship. This fact is very well illustrated in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. He justified neither the Priest nor the Levite. Yet these two were people ordained and serving at the altar. He justified only the Samaritan. It is disappointing that humanity have for so long neglected this important task and commandment.
             What Jesus said to Rev Sr Faustina, He said to all: “I demand from you deeds of mercy which are to arise out of love for me. You are to show mercy to your neighbours (everybody) always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse yourself from it."
             You must:
    1. Give to all – the rich and poor, the great and low, the needy and even to those that are not in need.
    2. Give without discrimination.
    3. Give without expecting rewards.
    4. Give without expecting thanks.
    5. Give to those who cannot repay you.
    6. Give without keeping records.
    7. Give your time, self, service, wealth, connection, opportunity, talents, knowledge, ability, even the little you can afford, etc.
