they're not generous and in the gospel today jesus talks about sins of hands feet and eyes and we can look at those in the context of generosity with our feet rather than running away from people in need we move toward them we recognize their need and we assist them instead of taking our hands away from people and retrieving what we have and keeping to ourselves we extend our hands in generosity and instead of being blind to people in need around us we look for them we're always attentive to those in need so a christian would walk toward charity a christian would extend charity and a christian would always look for moments to make charity possible so be attentive to being generous the blessings that god gives us are to be shared not to build us up but to share with others in need give see the need to give and walk toward that prompted by the holy spirit and with confidence in the father's love for each of us we offer our prayers now in jesus name for the church throughout the
