He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.
(Proverbs 22:9)
But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does.
(Matthew 6:3)
Within the community of believers there can never be room for a poverty that denies anyone what is needed for a dignified life.
