God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor 9 6-11) June 19th homily
Whoever sows sparringly, will also reap sparringly. Whoever sows abundantly, will also reap undoubtedly. The level of our dedication will be comparable to what we get out of it. Think of an athlete wanting to compete at a high level. Think of students doing their homework. It applies to our friendships, and it applies to our faith. Our faith will either dwindle or blossom depending on the measure that we give. In the Our Father prayer, we think of the measure of mercy our Father gives to us being comparable to the mercy we show to those who trespass against us. Let us give gratitude and thanks to our Lord for His generosity towards us.
