The bread you do not use is the
bread of the hungry. The garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment
of the person who is naked. The shoes you do not wear are the shoes of
the one who is barefoot. The money you keep locked away is the money of
the poor. The acts of charity you do not perform are the injustices you
commit…
Yet, at the same time, God considers Himself constantly obligated to repay you for whatever charities you do to your fellow men.
