When we do charity, it happens not from us but through us. God is the SOURCE of all that is good and each of us is called to be a 'medium' of what comes from that SOURCE. The SOURCE is capable of sending all that it contains directly to all at all times. But the SOURCE chooses to let some goodness flow directly to each and some goodness through a medium. This helps each medium to be in good connection with the SOURCE as well as other mediums. Without the SOURCE of goodness, the medium is empty of goodness. If this is realized, there is no room for pride. What flows to the medium from the SOURCE keeps the medium clean and strong. A clean medium can carry the SOURCE's goodness in good quality and a strong medium in good quantity.
Prayer :
O Great SOURCE of all goodness, pass your goodness to me and through me. Help me discern what comes from YOU and not to let anything else come to me. I eagerly wait for you to fill me and sustain me. May I ever be a pipe that happily transports what flows to me from you.
