When my great-grandmother was widowed and left with 12 children during the Great Depression, she had every reason to hold back. But instead… she gave. This is her powerful story of faith, sacrifice, and radical Catholic generosity — and how it challenges us today.

In this conversation with Fr. Cristino, we explore:
🔹 What almsgiving really means for Catholics
🔹 How self-denial and giving are spiritually connected
🔹 Whether government programs have weakened Christian charity
🔹 How debt, inflation, and modern life affect our ability to give
🔹 And why sometimes, those who give receive more than they ever expected

This video isn’t just about the past — it’s about how we as Catholics are called to trust God, give boldly, and serve others, no matter our situation.
