2 Reflection: True Giving Giving is at the heart of the Gospel, and is of the essence of the Christian life. But not all giving is the genuine article. Nicholas, who had a great reputation for generosity, died and went to heaven. St. Peter met him at the gate. There he showed him two piles of gold, one small and one large, made up of nuggets of various sizes. What are these? Nicholas asked. They are the acts of giving you performed on earth - one nugget for each act. Nicholas heart filled with pride. But then Peter said, Alas, not all giving is true giving. A lot of it is tainted with self-interest. So we ll have to run a test on your acts of giving. By the way, the nuggets in the larger pile don t count. How come? Nicholas asked. They represent all the gifts you gave to our friends, relatives, cronies and so on. They don t constitute real gold. Even gangsters are good to their own. With that the nuggets in the larger pile turned into dust. Peter took a sieve which had large meshes in it, and placed the nuggets from the smaller pile in it. After he had shaken it, he was left with the biggest nuggets in the sieve. What are your doing now? asked Nicholas. I m removing those gifts you gave only to get something in return. Such giving is a kind of investment. You get it back, sometimes with a handsome profit. With that he tossed the nuggets aside, and they turned to dust. He then made the meshes of the sieve smaller, and put the remaining nuggets into it. He shook it and once again tossed aside those that remained in it. What was that for? Nicholas asked. That removed the good deeds you did so as to win the praise of others. One can make an idol of oneself through giving. Peter made the meshes of the sieve finer, putting the remaining nuggets into it. As he did so he said, Now we ll remove the good deeds you did simply because of the good feeling you derived from that exercise. Nicholas watched him toss the nuggets that got caught in the sieve into the air where they turned to dust. Again Peter gathered up the remaining ones and put them into the sieve, having made the meshes finer still. What now? asked Nicholas. Now we ll extract all those things you gave only out of a sense of duty. He shook the sieve. The nuggets that remained in it he tossed aside, and they suffered the same fate as the others. Stop! Nicholas cried. If you go on like this, there won t be anything left. Then how will I earn my passport to heaven? We should go on, said Peter. We should look at the cost of your giving. Suppose we removed the things you gave but which you never missed, how much would disappear? And what of the gifts you gave merely because the receiver was someone you felt deserved your gift? But poor Nicholas wasn t listening any more. It s a terrible feeling to have gold within your reach, and then to have it snatched from you, he cried. Or if it turns out to be not real gold but fool s gold, Peter added. Ah, Nicholas, real giving is very rare, just as real gold is very rare. To give without expecting anything in return, least of all the great prize of heaven, that is what constitutes real giving. But cheer up, I ve good news for you. What good news? asked Nicholas. The Lord is the greatest giver of all. His acts of giving are pure gold. But we ve talked long enough. It s time to meet the Lord himself. But I m empty handed, Nicholas cried. That only means you re poor, Peter replied. But never fear. The Lord gives most generously to those who are poor and who are not ashamed to admit it. So let s go.
