Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness.
A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness.
It is better to give alms than to lay up gold: For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life: But they that sin are enemies to their own life.
St. Raphael the Archangel
Tobit 12:7-10
