Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7

Fresco of Albertus Magnus, by Tommaso da Modena, 1352
“It is by the path of love, which is charity, that God draws near to man, and man to God.
But where charity is not found, God cannot dwell.
If, then, we possess charity, we possess God, for ‘God is Charity’.” (ref. 1 John 4:8)
St. Albert the Great
