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. Certainly there are better ways than others to manifest love (not enabling self-destructive behavior for one), but, like God who IS love (1 John 4:8), the greatest love is that which has no end. Infinite.

United Way Northern New Mexico News:

David Meyerhofer first gave to United Way as a graduate student in Princeton, New Jersey.  He wasn’t thinking about legacy or lineage. He wasn’t honoring a family name. He and his wife simply looked at the organization and liked what it stood for.

“My wife and I chose United Way because we liked their approach,” he says. “It wasn’t more complicated than that.”

That was the beginning of a giving habit that has lasted over four decades. What David didn’t know—what no one in Read More
