When we pray, we must remember that God looks at our heart, not our words. Because, you see, pride can enter even in our most holy moments. We need humility and grace, for without these, our prayer becomes merely empty words before the Lord.
2Zacharias 2
“When these two virtues, humility, and almsgiving, meet, they pass over all the snares the world can set! You see, almsgiving is not measured in the amount of money, but rather it is measured in the heart and the desire with which you make your offering.”
説明
“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.’
