Pope Benedict XVI emphasized that charity is rooted in love and should reflect the selfless nature of Christ’s love for humanity. He taught that true charity goes beyond material assistance; it involves fostering genuine relationships and promoting the dignity of every individual. Charity is not merely an act but a way of being, calling on believers to engage actively in the world with compassion and responsibility. Ultimately, he viewed charity as a vital expression of faith that connects believers to God and to one another.
