Development
At the core of Catholic development is an awareness that giving is
giving to God-- not to our pastor, or to our church. And it means giving
to a point of sacrifice for the word sacrifice means "to make
holy." The Catholic spirit of giving means not caring what anyone
else gives; the decision parishioners make on how much to contribute
is between themselves and God. It's truly spiritual giving in every
sense.
Everything we
have comes from God, and when we give back,
we're saying to Him, "Thank you, God, for letting me use your gifts in service to you, my family, and fellow man!”
“The true purpose of tithing is to secure
not the tithe, but the tither; not the gift, but the giver; not your
money, but you--for God.”
