"The Sin of Eating Alone" - Bishop Fulton Sheen

Bishop Fulton Sheen reflects on the profound virtue of charity through two powerful stories. In the Pacific islands, a missionary explained that their greatest virtue was the opposite of their greatest vice—Kai Po, the sin of eating alone. These people would rather go without food for days than eat without sharing. He also recounts the story of Singh, a Christian missionary in the Himalayas, who risked his life to save a man trapped in a crevice. Though cold and tired himself, Singh’s act of charity revived him, while his guide, who refused to help, froze to death. "He had not warmed himself by an act of charity." Sheen calls us to reflect on the power of charity, reminding us that true philanthropy nourishes not only others but our own souls. Acts of selfless love give life and meaning, even in the direst circumstances. 🙏
