Give Give Give

The Roman Catholic Lectionary investigates the concept of generosity through the texts for the day. The Letter to the Corinthians reminds us that the Lord loves a generous giver. Paul quotes the tradition that the Lord is partner in our generous giving and will ensure that the seed of generous giving will reap bountifully. The Gospel of John indicates the extent to which Jesus and His are to be generous. That point is to give all. The seed dies to bring life. Those who serve Jesus follow Him to give all in communion with the will of the Father.
