Reflection Starter from Saint Basil the Great

"The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit." - Saint Basil the Great (whose feast day was celebrated yesterday, 2 January)
