“And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”   (Mark 12:33)

Of all the gifts that God gives us, the one He wants the most is our heart.  He wants us to share out of our love for Him, not out of obligation.  Using our talent in parish ministry and contributing money to support our parish mission is important, but it’s more important to spend time in prayer with God daily and discern how He is calling us to be generous with all of our gifts.  Not just the visible ones, but the invisible ones like love, mercy and forgiveness.
