How much more

“If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. ‘Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.’” (Mt 7: 11-12)

One of my favorite phrases in the Bible: “how much more.” Our God is beyond all kind of competition; if we love–He loves more, if we respect–He respects more, if we give ourselves to Him–He gives more. It is so joyful just to think about this: “how much more…”  And one of the possibilities for us is to do the same with our friends and “others.” Make others more happy and joyful.

“A clean heart create for me, O God; give me back the joy of your salvation.” (Gospel Acclamation)
