And even the poorest of the poor are often very generous. I don't have the silver and gold or whatever that you're asking for. The first thing that we can do is pray . I don't know if I can say that in a way that doesn't make it seem trivial. It's possible to say short prayers, the kind Peter and John prayed.
Short prayers can be very intense, and very powerful.
Prayer, when we feel that we have nothing else to offer, is so important. It often involves listening to the person who is in pain or in need. Prayer can mean giving an ear to someone who feels that they have no one who will listen to them. I spend hours listening to people. And most of the time, while I listen, I'm actively praying for them.
