The members started handing the money they brought to the brethren who needed financial help.

The video is attracting a lot of comments with people praising the priest for the valuable lesson.

Reacting to the video, Catholic priest, Reverend Father Oselumhense Anetor, known on Facebook as Fada Kay, said the little acts of kindness go a lot in lifting people's hearts.

His words:

"There is in fact one standard to the genuine practice of Christian Charity. And that standard is Jesus Christ Himself. So in so far as Fr. Bekomson's actions remind us of Christ's injunction to love our neighbour, then it is in fact a great standard.

"In a world like ours, there's no much love lost among us, even with families. As Christians, we can simply try to make the world better one step at a time. A kind word here, a listening ear there, an encouraging smile here, a contribution there... These little acts of kindness sometimes do much more than big donations to charity organisations, even though those kind of donations are also great in their own right."
