and he tells me one day my son comes and says to me father so and so is in great
need of giving him this money I can and the old petros says to him no you won't
give it to him you will you go to the priest of your parish and he will give it to the father
and you tell him the father you see he is in need make love and give them don't
say that I gave them to you because why except that at some point
you might get carried away and say I helped him so he needs help and you
and you say it out of interest to help him but don't offend him
so you don't hurt him and not only that and don't do that when the
poor man knows that you gave him the minutes whenever he sees you he will be ashamed whenever he sees you
he will feel obliged whenever he sees you he will feel that you are
above and he is below and you make him alms line

a man of little letters in the village when he has the mind of Christ how right he thinks
when you give without loving you insult the other Christ has struck him
they've made a bruise from top to bottom they've tied him up they've tied
his hands they've put on the crown the chair is swimming in the blood and a
soldier goes and shines it a slap dad what does Christ say when

when Saint Nektarios was exiled by his own elder and from the
Alexandrian synod and the poor man came to Greece, you know what he did, he protested,
he said, "You did me good, and he asked to be paid the wages he had
worked until then, you heard that right, because he was stingy, he was concerned
about money, but we all know that here in the rice field, he was cleaning them of grass
when others did not see him and he died a pauper because he did it to

stand on our feet and put the other in his place take care of this
