September 6

A rich man came to me and said he wanted to give up something in his life - his house, his car. I suggested: when you go to the store to buy a new suit or some clothes, instead of buying the best, buy on that is a little less expensive and use that extra money to buy something for someone else, or better still for the poor. When I finished saying this he looked really amazed and exclaimed: "Oh! Is that the way, Mother? I never thought of it." When he left, he looked so happy and full of joy a the thought of helping others.
