What service do you mean?

Answer 3

I think you have them confused with the Jehovah's Witnesses. I am a former Catholic and was never taught that I had to perform service to God or good works to get into heaven. Wrong religion, my friend.

Answer 4

But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is clean for you. (Luke 11:41)

If a brother or sister is ill clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? (James 2:15-16; cf. 1 John 3:17)

All Christians (including Catholics) are called by Jesus to perform works of mercy.

We come to the aid of our neighbors in their bodily and spiritual needs by these charitable actions.

The spiritual works of mercy include instructing, advising, consoling, comforting, forgiving, and patiently forbearing.

The corporal works of mercy include feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, sheltering the homeless, and burying the dead.

With love in Christ.

Answer 6

The service is a way to form people together. It is used to explain religion and to give meaning to things. It is like anything else in life, we use symbolism to explain life, that is what they are doing. It also makes what they are doing look important.

Answer 7

One cannot see into anothers mind, so let us not judge others. May peace and mercy be upon you through the divine grace and mercy of my Father, which is in Heaven, Amen.

Answer 8

Catholics perform service to show their love for God and for their neighbors.

It's also good preparation for judgment day, as described below:

Mat 25:31 And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
Mat 25:32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Mat 25:35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:
Mat 25:36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.
Mat 25:37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink?
Mat 25:38 Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee?
Mat 25:39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee?
Mat 25:40 And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
Mat 25:41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
Mat 25:42 For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink.
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
Mat 25:44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee?
Mat 25:45 Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.
Mat 25:46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.
