Giving More, Needing Less: The Call to Gospel Poverty | Sunday Homily 8.3.25

In this week’s homily, we’re challenged to reflect on a powerful question:

“How much am I giving—and how much is God calling me to give?”

 

Fr. shares his personal journey of learning Gospel poverty, starting with his parents’ simple family tradition of the “poor kid’s jar,” and growing into a life of sacrificial generosity.

 

Drawing from the parable of the man who built bigger barns (Luke 12), the story of Zacchaeus, and real-life mission experiences in Haiti, this message invites us to step out of a culture of greed and into the freedom of giving.

 

💡 “The more we own, the more we worry. But the more we give, the more joy we find.”

 

🕊️ Challenge for the week:

Ask God—“How much am I giving, and how much more can I give?”
