How to give?
True giving is gratuitousness, which is giving without any expectation of receiving anything in return. To achieve this, we need to have special concern for the poor, the lame, the orphans, the widows, and people who can not repay us. Mother Theresa is teaching us to give and give until it hurts, and then we will be repaid at the resurrection of the blessed. Our relationship should not be based on what we will get in return but on what we give to better the lives of others. Paul tells us in today's first reading that, no one should be preoccupied by his own interests but also be preoccupied about others.
May the souls of all the faithful departed through God's mercy, rest in perfect peace!
