Jesus Teaching: Almsgiving

Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them Otherwise You will have no recompense from your heavenly Father When you give alms Do not blow a trumpet before you As the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others Amen I say to you They have received their reward But when you give alms Do not let your left hand know what your right is doing So that your almsgiving may be secret And your Father who sees in secret will repay you [Taken from MT 6:1-4]
