CARITAS Australia’s Brisbane diocesan director Patricia Ryan made an interesting comment about the power of giving at a Project Compassion launch on Ash Wednesday.
Urging us to be generous for the sake of the millions of people living in poverty, she touched on the benefit for the giver.
“Of course what’s also of the utmost importance is the change that people experience in their hearts when they give,” she said.
We’ve seen that change grab the heart of the nation following the Victorian bushfires, and it’s a change we need to keep working on.
