Understanding Charity

What is Charity? Are Charity and Love the same thing? What are Catholics called to do? What is the role of suffering? What is sacrifice? What does Charity have to do with Evangelization? How does prayer, Liturgy, Eucharist, and the Sacraments have to do with Charity? To explore this topic, I examine Evelyn Underhill’s book “School of Charity,” writings from CS Lewis, Pope Francis and others in this whitepaper submitted to Catholic365. Yes, Underhill is an Anglican who wrote her book about 100 years ago, but she speaks volumes to our Catholic Faith today. Note: This article is demanding and not for the muzzy, safety-first Catholics. You are forewarned.
