Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” – Luke 21:1-4 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ – Acts 20:35.Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Sell your possessions, and give to the needy.Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others.Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? – Isaiah 58:7.Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
