ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
The good news of today’s Gospel is the extravagance of what is being given us.  All we need do is be faithful in “small matters.”  The cost of fidelity has no comparison to the reward given.
When you give furniture, household items and clothing you no longer use to help those less fortunate, you are sharing God’s extravagant love.
