Growing up, a child is told to
share. This is a great attribute we should all have, not only when we are
children, not only to share our toys. This is a feature we should maintain in
our life towards our fellow man, especially to those who need our help. St John
Chrysostom explains this, by claiming:
‘. . . that not to share our own
wealth with the poor is theft from the poor and deprivation of their means of
life; we do not possess our own wealth but theirs. If we have this attitude, we
will certainly offer our money; and by nourishing Christ in poverty here and
laying up great profit hereafter, we will be able to attain the good things
which are to come, by the grace and kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ. . . ‘[1]
