Scripture Readings:  Proverbs 22:7-12, Ezekiel 27-28:19, I Peter 4

Reflection Verse:  Proverbs 22:9

Reflection:  Beloved, a person who is generous looks for opportunities to give and to show compassion. This person will share his food and resources with those who are less fortunate which is pleasing to God. Let us be very mindful, that God will bless those who bless others.

Prayer:  Eternal God, how grateful I am for all the blessings You give me. Help me to be compassionate and good hearted when I see people in need. Holy Father, I am so thankful that I am able to give to others out of the bountiful blessings You have given to me. Remind me, Lord, that being generous is a virtuous, pleasing thing to do for others. I am aware that I am also blessed as a result of my generosity and for that I thank You, Lord… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
