Reflection 291
Based
on the 1965 Vatican II document: (Comments welcome here) |
This article speaks about the laity having "a full consciousness of their role in building up society whereby they strive to perform their domestic, social, and professional duties with such Christian generosity that their manner of acting should gradually penetrate the whole world of life and labor"
Christian
generosity means imitating the kindness and compassion and love of Jesus. Such
generosity is already present in all societies.
Think of the daily sight of people offering their Metro seat to someone in
need.
Christians are called to support, encourage and increase such a presence of
love, and through that love help more and more people discover the Source of all
love
Jesus, may Christians always give a good example of kindness
