[QUOTE="Saintscarborough, post: 1488600, member: 20569"] On the topic of giving alms, I recently read St John Chrysostoms sermons on wealth and poverty and I'd like to share some quotes. All these quotes are from one of the many of his sermons, there is so much more wisdom I recommend everybody check it out. I think St John Chrysostom shows us that we must have an attitude that the money we possess is not ours. It belongs first to God and neighbor. So when we give alms to the poor we shouldn't think that we are giving our money, but giving back to the poor what belongs to them. I'd also like to know how others in this forum go about giving alms. For myself all I've been able to come up with is keeping cash and change on me at all times, so that when I do pass by a homeless person I can give a little bit. [/QUOTE]
