Three Eminent Good Works See CCC §1458, 1473, 1815, 1829, 1853, 2044, 2447
The three eminent Good Works are Prayer, Fasting, and Alms-deeds. Prayer, Fasting, and Alms-deeds, are called the eminent Good Works, because they are remarkable above all others for the precious fruits they produce. They are especially pleasing to God, because they devote to Him, they give to Him and His service, all that we are and all that we have. By prayer we offer Him our souls and hearts, with all their affections. It is this which God wants supremely, a return of our love for His love. By fasting we offer our body with all its powers and senses. By alms-deeds we use for God’s glory and honor and service, our earthly possessions. © Evangelization Station, 2010 |
