You go into the church to obtain, mercy first, show mercy. Make God your .debtor, and them-you may ask of. Him, and receive with , usury. We are,not heard barely for the lifting up of our hands. n Stretch forth your, hands, not only to heaven but to the 9 poor. If you stretch out your hands to the,, poor, s you . touch the height o of heaven for,; He .that sits there receives your alms. But jif you lift up barren f hands; 'it profiteth nothing.—St. John Chrysostom. 100
