Wisdom for the day – Metropolitan JOSEPH

July 20, 2014

“Tithing is not just for converts.

It is not just for the rich.

It is for all of us.

It brings us peace, knowing that we have given to God what is rightfully His.

It makes our parishes strong by providing the support it needs.

It builds up our youth, who see our gratitude to God and are in turn grateful to their parents.

Yes, if you really want your children to appreciate what you do for them, try being an example of gratitude.”

His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH
