Episode 122 - Almsgiving: Expanding the Heart (Part 3)

Send us Fan Mail

Almsgiving is one of the three pillars of Lent, but it is often misunderstood. It’s not just about donating money or giving away what we don’t need. True almsgiving is love expressed in action.

In Part 3 of the Catholic Money Talk Lenten series, Paul explores how generosity stretches our hearts and strengthens our trust in God. Through Scripture stories like the widow’s mite, the widow of Zarephath, and the rich man and Lazarus, we see that God doesn’t call us to comfortable generosity — He calls us to sacrificial love.

Paul also shares a powerful personal story about a moment when his family wanted to give but couldn’t, and how that experience changed their financial life. The lesson? Generosity isn’t created by earning more. It’s created by needing less.

When we shrink our “cup,” we create the margin that allows God to work through us.
