Efrain Alvarado says:

The teaching of the Letter to the Galatians is emphatic: “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, and especially to those who are of the household of faith” (6:10).

proclaiming the word of God (<I>kerygma-martyria</I>), celebrating the 
sacraments (<I>leitourgia</I>), and exercising the ministry of charity (<I>diakonia</I>). 
These duties presuppose each other and are inseparable. For the Church, charity 
is not a kind of welfare activity which could equally well be left to others, 
but is a part of her nature, an indispensable expression of her very being.<A title="" name="_ftnref17" href="#_ftn17">[17]</A></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20051225_deus-caritas-est_en.html"><P align="left"><A title="" name="_ftn17" href="#_ftnref17">[17]</A> Cf.
