My hope and prayer is that we as the modern day Orthodox Church would make serving the poor a priority as it did in the early church and as the Apostle Paul did, “that this very thing I was eager to do” (Gal 2:10)! In the strong exhorting words of Heb 10:24-25—Let us consider how to stir up one another into love and good deeds as we see the Day of our Lord approaching (Heb 10:24-25).
Perhaps Saint John Chrysostom’s closing words from his Second Homily will prove to be a fitt...ing evidence for we Orthodox today……
“If it is possible for you, remember everything I have said. If you cannot remember everything, instead of everything, I beg you, remember this without fail, that to fail to share our own wealth with the poor is theft from the poor and deprivation of their means of life; we do not possess our own wealth but theirs. If we have this attitude, we will certainly offer our money, and by nourishing Christ in poverty here and laying up great profit hereafter, we will be able to attain the good things which are to come, by the grace and kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, with Whom be glory, honor and might, to the Father, together with the Holy Spirit, now and every and unto ages of ages. Amen.”
