GENEROSITY

Parents, let the proper upbringing of your children be your most important concern. Give him life-enhancing advice. See how Tobit advised his son. . .

"And now, my son, I tell you to serve God in truth and do that which will please Him and command your sons to exercise justice and alms and be mindful of God and bless His name always.

Remember God everyday of your life. Do not transgress His commandments. Act justly everyday of your life and do not walk the paths of injustice.

Give alms from your own goods and do not turn your face from the poor, so God will not turn His face from you. Give according to your means; if you have much, give more. If you have little, give little."
