Sažetak
Integrity and systematic quality of pastoral work arise from the Christian faith and responsibility, which does not tolerate a separate and superficial approach to the church mission in the world. To separate active love (charity) from proclamation of the Word would be a lack of understanding of the Gospel message and identification with ideology, which would diminish human dignity and deepen the social insensitivity for the needy. In the first part of the work the author analyses the concept of poverty, points to its new forms and to the essence of charity. Then he emphasizes the relationship of the institution of Caritas and evangelization in terms of a person, and on the basis of church documents he stresses the importance of structure and organization of Caritas, i.e. the “organized love” in pastoral work. In the third part he refers to the establishment of Caritas in parishes recognizing the need for pastoral renewal in order to realize evangelical meaning of Christian caritas in caring for the needy.
