A sermon praising Dorcas of Joppa as a model of Christian charity who sewed garments for the poor and comforted the afflicted. The tale follows Peter’s miracle reviving Dorcas, contrasts practical benevolence with mere sympathy, and envisions eternal reward for devoted service. Nearby tributes to female benevolence and the enduring impact of devout toil conclude with a call for women to seek God first.
