Special Collections during Great Lent
On Fasting and Almsgiving
St. John Chrysostom
St. John Chrysostom
Why, then, are there poor people? Is God not able to rain down gold upon them? But the poor are with you so that their poverty might serve for you as a propitiation of sins. A great thing is man, but a merciful man is precious indeed (Prov 20:6 LXX). See how great almsgiving is? God identifies the merciful man with himself: Be compassionate, he says, as your heavenly Father is compassionate (Lk 6:36).
