“St. Ephraim the Syrian says, ‘God does not look upon the quantity of offerings that you make, but the heart with which you bring these offerings.’ However small your offering may be, give it with humility and a sorrowful heart that you cannot offer more. That is true almsgiving. “God truly beholds a broken and contrite heart. Just the other day a poor woman came to me. I looked at her and wondered at how God had brought her to me! She said ‘I want to offer forty Liturgies, but I have no money even to get home from here. Here! Here is a handkerchief.’
