FIRST READING:2 Corinthians 9:6-10/ GOSPEL: John 12:24-26
In our day to day life, we always encounter giving and taking. Exchange of gifts is what we usually encounter. When someone gives gift to us, how good we feel? Because we know it is coming out of love. But if someone gives grudgingly something, we may not feel that good. The readings today suggests us whatever we give to the poor or needy we need to give cheerfully and not grudgingly. Let us ask ourselves how many things that we posses is really used frequently? If we make a list of things, we would be surprised to see. A lot of things may not be used at all. This is the time for us to share it with someone who really needs it. And let us give it not because we don't use or it's obligatory, but for the love of others. Especially for those people who are in need of us.
