@christtheking001: When we taste love, through our material giving, then we enjoy giving and realize the inner satisfaction, and we can love our brothers and God to the point of death. God does not require giving for the sake of feeding the poor, but to present to Him the offering of our sweet love so He may accept it. As St. Paul wrote, “Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.” (Phil. 4:17) The second reason is what St. John Chrysostom wrote: [It teaches you how to resemble God, and this is the source of all goodness1 .] The third reason is that we share in the sufferings of the other members of the body of Christ. 31 If alms given to the least are given to Christ, there is no reason for anyone to prefer earthly things to heavenly ones or to place human things before divine ones #jesus #jesuslovesyou #christ #kingofkings #viral
