A Tax Time Test
Now that you have figured out for Uncle Sam how much you made this year and how many charitable contributions you gave, it might be a good time to figure out just how faithful and generous you really are. Throughout Sacred Scripture God has called us to “bring the whole tithe into the storehouse…” (Malachi 3:10). The Catholic Church traditionally recognizes the tithe as 10% of your income – 5% to your parish and 5% to other charities. So how close are you to returning 10% of your treasure to God? It’s easy to calculate. Divide your total charitable contributions for last year by your gross income for last year. Move the decimal point over two places and that is your percent of giving. So if your answer is .036, you are returning 3.5% of your income to God. If you are not happy with the number, we encourage you to plan ways to increase your giving.

In today’s first reading,
we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord calls him. May
we, too, be listening for the call of God in our lives and be ready to say like
the psalmist, “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”
