If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned but have not love, I gain nothing. We are encouraged to give alms to sacrifice for others. Is it just to boost? No.
We are to do it out of love. Sharing with others gives them great joy, but if you are just doing it for doing sake and you don’t do it out of love and care and compassion, and love for your neighbor, then you are just a clashing cymbal, a noisy gong. That is what makes the difference. Do it for love of God, for love of neighbor. We heard of Saint Francis. He became a saint, not because he gave away but because he loved. Look at our Lord Himself, the crucifixion, the dead. Why? Because He loved us.

If I’m able to move this mountain, it will seem as if I am a wonder worker and that may make me popular, but what is my motive? As human beings we will want to work wonders and be famous! And people will think, talk about us and they will know…

The Sign of the Cross
John 19:17-18, “So they took Jesus, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified Him.” The church always begins its prayer with a sign of the cross. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Some people do like this.

Be Slow To Anger
Proverbs 14:29. “He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” Some of us who are hot tempers who have not been able to control our anger in some situations have seen the disadvantages of it.
