Gospel: Matthew 10:7-13
The laborer deserves his keep. Whatever
town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until
you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let
your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you.

Reflection:
What was the intention of Jesus when he told the disciples: “Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.” (Matthew 10:8) Jesus said this to convey the message that whatever that they have is a gift that they have received from God. Thus, they have to pay it forward or give it away also without expecting anything in return and this applies to us too.
Whatever we have is a gift from God also, hence God expects us to give what we have without expecting anything in return. And this is not solely limited to material giving this also includes intellectual giving this means that we have to share what our minds have so that it can help educate others. Let us not hold back in our giving because it is in giving that we would receive unfathomable blessings from God.
Some may say that this is not true but this is true! We would not run out of anything that we need if we are generous for the reason that the more that we are generous the more that God would supply us of whatever that we need. Why is this so? Because generosity breeds good karma and generosity breeds generosity and blessings as well.
We therefore have to be generous all the
time without expecting anything in return. Because God takes care of those who
are generous. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
