Totus Tou!

When we keep the principles and laws of God, the direct consequence is prosperity. Permit me to say that, even with that, morality et all, is still Mosaic and an old testament stuff, though Christ has not come to abolish that, but to perfect it. Where almost all of us fall short of the kingdom is that we stay put at the prosperity level,like that rich young man,we are afraid to let go. That is why prosperity churches abound and why money stuff is also infilterating the catholic church.The level of perfection is this:'If thou would be perfect, go sell ALL what you have, give the money to the poor, and come follow me'.we shall all have to be St Francis of Assisi to have the audacity to do that, in a sense,it is a call to die, and it is just obvious how few there are who practically follow that. It is only after we must have done that when we shall know the authenticty of what Christ has truely brought, i.e Grace and Truth. Realistically speaking , i think most of us have fallen short of the 'ALL'. He does not need a tenth, He needs ALL. He does not need our tithing as much as our charity!. I've found a secret, in spite of my weakness, of giving that ALL, in Spirit and in Truth: It is in the practice of the 'True Devotion To Mary' according to St Louis De Monfort, that principle on which the Legion of Mary is built. If we can authentically live the spirit of this practices, in spite of our weakness and incapacity, we shall see how much we have given the Lord, more than any offering or tithing!
