In the Holy Scriptures, we are constantly reminded about the importance of selflessness. The letter of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 tells us: “Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving."
In 2 Corinthians 8:9, we read that our Lord Jesus Christ “was rich, yet for your sake he became poor in order to make you rich through his poverty”.
