TEACHINGS ABOUT CHARITY

The human being has been created in such a way that he can look upwards or above self, and also downwards or below self. Looking above self consists in looking towards neighbour, country, Church, heaven, and especially the Lord; but looking below self is looking towards the earth, the world, and especially self.
