Generosity is a great virtue to build for someone who is looking to give his or her life over to God. In a world and culture that promotes self-satisfaction, the Christian stands out as one who is self-giving. Be open to giving talents and gifts to the needs of the Church.

No matter what God's calling is for each of us, that unique call is first and foremost a gift of God to His Church, then it is a gift to us for our greatest fulfillment. Every person called to be a priest, monk or nun is called to be a gift to the whole Church. Every man or woman called to be a spouse is called to be a gift to his family and community. God asks everyone to accept His call, and then to generously return it back to Him in service. You do not own your talents, gifts, material goods, body, mind. They are merely on loan to you and God asks you to be a good steward of them.
