22 I Wednesday of Apostles

Mt. 6: 1-4 The Jews regarded almsgiving equal to righteousness. Jews regarded also that when the recipient does not know from whom he gets it and the giver does not know to whom he gives it are these people greater than Moses. So Jesus continued preaching that almsgiving must be an instinctive outflow of the loving heart, we must give to others as Jesus Christ gave himself to us.
