Today the Holy Father asked us to be particularly united in prayer, in praying, fasting and praying for peace for the whole world. But prayer and fasting cannot be accomplished without alms, which must make us suffer, and must also harm us, because we give up what is ours to give it to our neighbor who is in difficulty or even dying.
