Fr. Glenn: Can There Be Too Much?

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

It’s funny how easily we toss around extreme phrases: “I gave everything I had?!” “You have to give 110%!!” But do we? Are we truly so generous of ourselves?

On the other hand, if someone were to chastise a parent, a child or a spouse: “You give too much love!”, I think most of us would think such phrase absurd. Love for another is the one thing that should be limitless.

Infinite.
