  1. True, you can’t give what you don’ have. If you’re lucky, though, you can give something more: “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, rise and walk.”

    I see this verse to mean just what it says. You cannot give love if you don’t ‘live love’ in all its many facets in your own life. You cannot ask for mercy and forgiveness for your sins if you don’t show mercy and forgive the offenses of others towards you. In other words: practice what you preach.

    Of course these words could also mean: know your Faith and then live it; read the Gospel and study the Fathers of the Church and the Church documents; frequent the sacraments. How can one evangelise others and answer questions about the Catholic Church if you are ignorant of it yourself?
