The Inner Life

Fr. John LoCoco joins Patrick to discuss Generosity * What is generosity? * (3:54) being generous with your food. * (14:42) Pat - We're retired, limited income, and to try and get spouse on the same page. Do you have any suggestions for that? * (19:47) Lynda - I was taught by someone I work with who worked with homeless in NYC during the start of the AIDS epidemic. She said don't give money, give them food. Look them straight in the eye. i give them apples, energy bars, etc. and they are so grateful. (27:00) Break 1 * How is receiving a gate way to generosity?   * (31:13) Susan - I give a lot of $ and I seem to still have excess. Want to know what to do. *  (41:05) Marie - The way I like to give is monetarily, but I usually give by giving a nice compliment or God bless. I give blessings to God everyday to everyone I meet. * What is stewardship? * Theresa - About 25 years ago, son had a breakthrough in drug addiction. Began giving out Divine Mercy pictures. I am low income. From there, it went from 2-3 to 6000 in English and 6000 in Spanish. That's nothing compared to the gift they are. It's the time in handing them out. People love them. It's so rewarding and I pray for all who receive them.
