Practicing generosity
"You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”

2 - Reflect
The word of God says that he who gives seed to the one who sows, and bread to the one who eats, will provide, multiply and increase its fruits. That is to say, the more generous you are, the more good you spread with Love throughout the world, the more it will be returned to you, for good returns to the one who lavishes it.
Everyone who is generous will be enriched by the Lord, who gives grace to the kind souls, the pure ones, those who do not offend or hurt: those blessed souls who enjoy hearing the laughter of others, seeing their comfort, their happiness and their satisfaction.
He whose happiness is the happiness and joy of his neighbor has the gates of Heaven open to him, for God enriches those who are kind. Therefore, listen to your brother, be generous with him, give him your time, your food or your clothing if he needs it, give him your knowledge and your listening, a place at your table or in your home. Do it with absolute sincerity, without expecting anything in return.
God is suspicious of self-interested people, who only seek good from their deepest selfishness, using people as a means to obtain something else. Your brother is not a means for you to do your business: he is a heart that vibrates with yours, a being with feelings, love, soul, family, anguish. He deserves all your respect and love, he deserves the best treatment. Remember that God teaches us to be generous with our neighbor, this virtue is one of the greatest, one of the most perfect.
