“If you are attached to the things of this earth, you should give alms sufficient to enable you to punish your avarice by depriving yourself of all that is not absolutely necessary for life.” IfsGivingShouldEarthSufficientAvariceAlmsDeprivingDepriving Yourself Author:John Vianney
“Others will give away large alms in order to be considered charitable people. Should they not give these out of their own wages, which so often they squander on trifles? If this has happened to you, do not forget that you are obliged to pay back to the person concerned all that you gave to the poor without the knowledge or consent of your employers. Then again, there is the one who has been entrusted by his employer with the supervision of the staff, or of workmen, who gives out wine and all sorts of other things to them if they ask him.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldPersonsHas BeensOrderAsksForgetPoorPayHappenedConcernedWineStaffConsentWagesEmployersObligedTriflesCharitableWorkmenAlmsSupervision Author:John Vianney
