True holiness, ultimately, manifests as charity, measured not just by devotion but by our actions of giving and forgiving. The generosity of the Macedonian Christians offers an example. Despite their own persecutions and poverty, their spirit of giving overflowed. This reminds us that suffering, when embraced reflectively, can cultivate empathy and a deeper attentiveness to others' needs, transforming hardship into a source of generosity. True charity stems from a profound love for God, not from obligation or self-interest. Jesus Himself is the supreme exemplar of this boundless charity. He emptied Himself His divinity and became one with us. He even died for His enemies and forgave them on the cross unto death.
