Dear Lord, Thank You for teaching me to be generous as You have been  generous with me. Thank You for showing me that all I am and have are gifts from You and that these gifts from you, Lord, are meant to be shared. Show me the joys of generosity. Help me to understand that others, perhaps unknown to me, depend on me for help. Remind me that my world and my parish needs “Good Samaritans” to heal the wounds of our times. Make me a gift to others in Your name.

Amen!
