  • Summary

  • LIBERALITY
    1. Liberality consists in being ready and willing, for the love of God, to give pecuniary assistance to those who are in need.
    2. By liberality we obtain forgiveness of sin, an eternal re ward, and temporal blessings, besides a speedy answer to prayer and the friendship of our fellow-men.

    THE OPPOSITE OF LIBERALITY: AVARICE.
    1. Avarice consists in an inordinate craving for riches, which makes a man not only strive after them, but refuse to give any portion of his goods to the poor.
    2. The avaricious are miserable both in time and in eternity; for the sake of money they commit all manner of sins, they lose the faith and their peace of mind, they are cruel to themselves and hardhearted to their neighbor, and finally perish eternally.
    3. The surest means whereby the avaricious can conquer the greed of gain, is by forcing themselves to give alms. They ought besides to meditate frequently on the poverty of Christ, and the ephemeral nature of earthly possessions.
