God invites us to give in faith and generosity
When God invites us to give—whether it’s our time, our resources, or simply our trust—how do we respond? Are we willing to let go of what we have, even when it feels uncomfortable, even when it means giving from our “last handful of flour”?
“What’s in it for me?”
The test of greatness is not, “What can I get out of this?” but rather, “What service can I give?”
When prejudgment turns into prejudice
It is true that instant condemnation comes easy to us and is then honed by endless repetition in our thoughts. But the way to deal with this is to try a bit of empathy, to think ourselves into what might be going on inside others, and not to just listen endlessly to our own self justifications.
Dear Parishioner Letter 12/07/20
When we receive the word with an open and generous heart we are nourishing our souls.
