Charity is described as the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God, Catechism 1822
The most treasured and sacred moments of our lives are those filled with the spirit of love. The greater the measure of our love, the greater is our joy.
John Holmes writes “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
It really isn't about how much we give nor how often necessarily but the fact that we give out of love expecting nothing in return. Begin to look at things through the eyes of a child and your charity will be renewed.
