Open hands for those in need

In the middle of everything she does for her own household, the virtuous woman doesn't close her heart to the world outside: she "stretcheth out her hand to the poor" and "reacheth forth her hands to the needy." Generosity is one of the most beautiful marks of a woman of faith. And it isn't only about money — it's about availability: a plate of food, a word of encouragement, time spent listening to someone no one else listens to, a prayer for someone who has fallen. You don't need to have much to share; you need an open heart. Whoever knows God's generosity learns to be generous. Everything you have, He gave you — and nothing is lost when you share it with love. Today, look around: there's always someone more in need than you. Reach out your hand. Through that gesture, God reaches the world through you.
