FIRST READING
"God loves the one who gives joyfully"
A Reading from the second letter of Saint Paul the apostle to the Corinthians (9, 6-11)
Brothers, remember the proverb: To sow too little, we reap too little; to sow widely, we harvest widely. May each give as he has decided in his heart, without regret and without constraint, for God loves those who give joyfully. And God is powerful enough to give you all grace in abundance, so that you always have everything you need, and even that you have in abundance to do all kinds of good. Scripture says of the righteous man: He distributes, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. God, who provides the seed for the sower and the bread for food, will provide you with the seed; he will multiply it, he will give growth to what you accomplish in righteousness. He will make you rich in generosity of all kinds, which will spark our thanksgiving to God.
- Word of the Lord.
