(Listen to this homily here).
I love this line from St. Paul: “…for God loves a cheerful giver.” What a great line to start the day! And as we gather for Mass we might ask
ourselves: am I a cheerful giver?
Why
should we not be cheerful givers?
St. Paul says as much as he continues in his address to the Corinthians:
“God is able to make every grace
abundant for you, so that in all things, always
having all you need, you may have an abundance for every
good work.” We each
have all we need—from basic necessities to abundance to God’s grace and
love.
Paul
concludes what the purpose of such blessings is for: “You are being enriched in every way for all generosity, which
through us produces thanksgiving to God.”
May
we be cheerful givers today, both to God and our neighbor.
