Give at once

“Refuse no one the good on which he has a claim when it is in your power to do it for him. Say not to your neighbor, ‘Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give,’ when you can give at once.” (PRV 3: 27-28)

There is only today when we can do something for our neighbors. The past is behind us, and the future belongs to God, not to us. When “it is in our power to do the good for our neighbor,” we should “give at once.”

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” (Gospel Acclamation)
