Divine Generosity
Last Sunday I was driving
home from Quincy and tuned into a radio Mass. The priest’s homily started out by
asking everyone in the pews to take a moment to look around and gaze at the
windows, statues, the organ, and artwork. I encourage you, if you are in Church
right now (but not during Mass!), to take a moment and look around you. Look at
the walls, the windows, the Stations, etc. You may notice here and there little
plaques or inscriptions: “In memory of…”, “Dedicated to…” or “Donated by…” Each
of these inscriptions represents a person or family who were inspired by divine
generosity. Take a look now at the wood, brick and mortar that holds our Church
together. Reflect upon the hands that labored in faith to build our Churches…
inspired by divine generosity.
As I look out my office window I hear the birds chirping,
the wind rustling, and I see the brilliant oranges, reds and golds of autumn
color. I think to myself what awesome generosity God has for us! He surrounds
us with the bountiful beauty of the earth and sky! He surrounds us with love!
How can we thank God for His divine generosity? Taking a look around our Church
and reflecting upon what it took to build our building—divine generosity!
This week let us be inspired by divine generosity—Let us
pray more; let us donate time, talent or treasure; let us share with one
another God’s love for us. Who knows who you will inspire by your generosity!
God Bless, Holly Clark
