In the final Lent Lecture, Caroline Prickel shed light on the practice of almsgiving, emphasizing its deeper significance beyond charity.
What is almsgiving?-- almsgiving is more than just giving money or goods to the poor; it's a profound act of charity that fosters inner penance and reflection.
Caroline highlighted how almsgiving helps us understand our relationship with money, urging us not to let it control our lives. She pointed out our reluctance to share our treasures, often due to habit and self-centeredness.
A central theme throughout this talk was the impact of giving. Caroline emphasized that even small acts of giving can make a significant difference, encouraging us to become the answer to someone else's prayer.
In conclusion, this lecture on almsgiving served as both a call to action and introspection, urging us to embody the spirit of giving in our lives and make a positive impact on others and the world around us.
