Why join us ... to live your faith by helping those in need. As Christians, we are asked to help one another.
The local KofC St. Augustine council of Northborough helps those in need. Help us help them.
We try to live the golden rule: Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Motivation to join:
"We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it in our power to be in heaven with Him at this very moment. But being happy with Him now means: loving as He loves, helping as He helps, giving as He gives, serving as He serves, rescuing as He rescues, being with Him 24 hours, touching Him in his distressing disguise. " - Mother Teresa
"There but for the grace of God, go I." - Proverb (John Bradford - 16th century English martyr)
"Helping hands are better than Praying Lips". - Mother Teresa
"Engage yourselves in service activity. Consider social service as service to God.
This is the best way to earn God's Love. Love all and serve all. Your entire life will be sanctified thereby." - Sathya Sai Baba
In the Bible, it is recorded that Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. When they asked him why he was doing so, Jesus answered:
"I am washing your feet as your servant, so that you may learn to serve the world."
Love must be manifested as service to others and that service must take the form of food for the hungry, solace for the forlorn, and consolation for the sick and the suffering.
Jesus wore himself out in such service to humanity. - (Sathya Sai Baba – 25 Dec 1984, 1981)
Matthew 25:31-40
31 - When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 - And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 - And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 - Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 - For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 - Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 - Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 - When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 - Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 - And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
