Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written:
“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:6–11
Today, after the Divine Liturgy at the Holy Protection Church in Odesa (67 Bakhmutska Street),
together with the charitable organization Odyhitria Charity Fund, we collected and sent humanitarian aid to places of detention — the Odesa pre-trial detention center,
Zhytomyr pre-trial detention center, and Kirovohrad correctional colony.
The aid included clothing and footwear, food and medicines, hygiene items, and essential supplies.
Our heartfelt thanks to Sant’Egidio.ua, Yurii Lifanse, and Nova Poshta Humanitarian for their cooperation and open hearts!
Glory to God for everything!
