“A Catholic may sin and sin as badly as anyone else, but no genuine Catholic ever denies he is a sinner. A Catholic wants his sins forgiven—not excused or sublimated.”

What we give easily

(for someone who needs to hear this again)

We hold on to what we love.

Whether we’re talking about people or things, it’s hard to give away what we hold dear.

Today’s Gospel is the story of the widow’s mite. Where Jesus praises the widow who gives generously from the little she has. In stark contrast to the wealthy who give out of their abundance.

The point Jesus is making isn’t really about giving more. Or even about money. It’s about priorities, about what we love.

The easiest thing to give? What we have more than enough of. What we don’t care about. What we don’t want.

Which means? What we give easily, gives us away.

What we give easily tells us what’s going on in our hearts. Even if we’re not aware of it.

Today, take a look at what you give easily. Be honest with yourself. Look at what that says about what you love, about your priorities.

If you don’t like what that says about you, ask God for the grace to make a change.

As Fulton Sheen put it, “You must remember to love people and use things, rather than love things and use people.”
