What Is Almsgiving? (And Why It Matters)

Send us Fan Mail

What is almsgiving, and why does the Church call us to practice it?

In this episode, Fr. Cristino explains the meaning of almsgiving in the Christian life and how it goes beyond simply giving money. Rooted in Scripture and Tradition, almsgiving is an act of love, a form of self-denial, and a way of participating in God’s care for others.

How should Catholics approach almsgiving today? Does it only apply to the materially poor? And what if you feel like you don’t have much to give?

Through clear teaching and practical examples, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at how we can grow in generosity and live this call in our daily lives.
