Key Idea
Selfishness is a very great obstacle that blocks our friendship with God. Exploring Gospel Values What happens to unwanted toys and games at home? Do they go into the attic? Are they passed on to younger brothers and sisters? Are they left around to be thrown out eventually or, are they passed on to St Vincent de Paul Society or to a Jumble Sale to help the poor? What gifts or talents do you have? Do you share them in any way? Do you agree that people should be generous not selfish? How can you be generous?
Call to Faith
We are called to be generous and not selfish. Generosity is the badge of the people of God.
