About this Quote

This quote by William E. Simon is stressing the value of corporal works of grace over composing checks for charities. Composing checks for charities is needed as well as crucial, but it can not contrast to the impact of corporal works of grace. Corporal works of grace are acts of kindness as well as charity that are done directly to those in need. These acts can include feeding the starving, garments the nude, seeing the sick, and also hiding the dead. These acts are definitely more than writing a check due to the fact that they entail direct call with those in demand and also can have an extra extensive impact on their lives. Creating checks for charities is necessary, but it can not contrast to the influence of corporal jobs of grace.
