The Giving of Alms
The giving of alms is one way to share God’s gifts not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents. St. John Chrysostom reminds us: “Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs.” (CCC 2446)
