Br. Bartholomew Calvano, O.P., on Thankless Charity

"Growing up, most of us were probably taught that when someone does something nice for us, we should say thank you. As a result, we have come to expect gratitude when we do something kind for another. Yet, sometimes - perhaps even often - we find reluctant acceptance, suspicion, or even hostility. This can make us hesitant to continue to pursue charitable activity. It is good every once in a while to reexamine our motives. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Brother Bartholomew Calvano, O.P., reflected on our heavenly reward as we do works of mercy, demonstrating charity toward the grateful and ungrateful alike.
