The communion of goods – the sharing of material and spiritual resources – has always been an expression of koinonia. Because the members were united in a bond of love as a community of disciples and friends, they shared everything – their time, talent, treasure. The collection taken up during their liturgical celebration was also called “koinonia” – a concrete expression of the communion of goods. The proceeds did not belong to the leaders or the clergy, these were meant to be shared by all according to their needs (esp. the poor – widows and the orphans). excerpt from the talk given by Fr. Amado Picardal, CSsR to the Catholic Bishops of the Philippines during the seminar on Spirituality of Stewardship, Jan. 22, 2013. #pcne #BEC
