Our beauties, physical, but especially internal beauties, are given for the sake of charity, for the sake of compassion and concern, for the sake of our spouses and our children, for our parents and all those who are dear to us. Drawing forth their beauty is the most beautiful thing we can do. And this great act of beauty being drawn forth is love expressed most perfectly in charity. Yet, even charity is not for its own sake. St. Paul says that we are to do the truth in charity.
Charity is for the sake of the truth.
The truth is not a philosophy. The truth is not a political system. The truth is not culture. The truth is a person. When we in fact find, commit and live the truth, then we discover our true strengths.
