GOOD WORKS
  1. The name of good works is given to such voluntary actions on the part of man as are in conformity with the will of God, are performed for the love of God, and consequently will be re warded by God.
  2. The good works most pleasing in God's sight are these: Prayer, fasting, and almsdeeds.
  3. Even the most trifling works are pleasing to God if they are done with the intention of promoting His glory.
  4. Good works are necessary to salvation.
  5. Through good works the sinner obtains the actual graces which are necessary for his conversion; the just man obtains an increase of sanctifying grace, eternal felicity, and the remission of the temporal penalty of sin ; furthermore his prayers are heard, and sometimes earthly blessings are bestowed on him.
  6. We can apply to others, either to the living or to the dead, the merit of our good works.
  7. We ought to let our good works be seen of men, in order to set them a good example.
  8. We ought to make diligent use of our earthly riches, as well as of our life here below, for the performance of good works.
