One way is to put our time, talent, and resources at the service of our parish. Some problems at the parish level won t go away overnight, and require ongoing, constructive attempts to foster good personal relationships. This may come as a shock, but my own family is not perfect. Inevitably problems and disputes do arise. There is no such thing as a perfect parish.
Problems inevitably arise, and sometimes, despite our best efforts, they persist.
The most important point is that, as the late Mother Teresa taught, we are called to be faithful, not successful. And just as problems in my family are often all or partly my fault, all of us as members of the Family of God must continually seek the renewal and healing of our own hearts. Indeed, all of us are called to give ourselves fully to God and His will for us. Understandably, then, generosity in a natural family setting involves openness to the gift of children, as well as myriad acts of charity and hospitality. That s what a home is all about.
