Stretch out your hand to the poor and you will receive a blessing from the Lord.
May your gifts benefit the living and do not forget the dead.
Do not turn away from those who weep, and grieve with those who are in sorrow.
Do not neglect to visit the sick because it is for such acts that you will be loved.
In all your actions remember your last end and you will never sin.
Sirach 7:32-36
