In the midst of his #exhortations to the Corinthian #Christians, #Paul set forth the #theological and #Christological basis for #giving.
We do well to remember how "grace" can mean "gift".
The grace, or gift, of God in Christ involved Jesus giving up His great wealth in order to become poor so all who might trust in Him may obtain the wealth of eternal life and the blessings which come from God.

Quote of the day, 28 July: Blessed John Soreth
So let the love of Christ kindle your enthusiasm; let His knowledge be your teacher, and His constancy your strength. May your enthusiasm be fervent, balanced in judgment and invincible, and neither lukewarm nor lacking in discretion. Love the Lord your God with all the affection of which your heart is capable; love Him with all the attentiveness and balance of judgement of your soul and reason; love Him with such strength that you will not be afraid to die for love of Him.
Blessed John Soreth

Whatever the troubles and difficulties that weigh you down, bear them all patiently and keep in mind that these are the things which constitute your cross. Offer your help to the Lord and carry the cross with him in gladness of heart.
There is always something to be endured, and if you refuse one cross, be sure that you will meet with another, and maybe a heavier one. If we trust in God and rely on his help, we shall overcome the allurements of vice.
We must never let our efforts flag nor our steps grow weary, but must keep our hearts under steady discipline.
