Receiving and Giving As Christians, we are called to live under a very simple principle; for all that we have been given, we must give not expecting repayment. And then ironically, the repayment we receive is far more abundant that what we might expect under the world's rules. All three readings today bear out the truth of this basic principle. In our first reading from the Book of Genesis, Abraham and Sarah give of themselves by offering hospitality to strangers. They do not expect repayment but they receive from God something more important than the food they have offered to strangers; they receive the gift of life as one of the strangers foretells the birth of their son in the future. |

Some friends went deer hunting separated into pairs for the day. And that night one hunter returned alone, staggering under the weight of an 8 point buck. “Where’s Harry?” asked another hunter. “Oh, he fainted a couple of miles up the trail” Harry’s friend answered. “And you left him lying there all alone and carried the deer back?” A tough call, said the hunter. “But I figure no one is going to steel Harry!” This short story illustrates the problem we have in making a commitment to another person and off making excuses. W can find it hard to commit ourselves to following Jesus, and we come up with many excuses for not doing so. |

St. Hubert of Liege was born in 656 in Maastricht, in what is now modern-day Holland. He was born into a royal family and in his younger years he was not very religious. He lived the life of a wealthy, devil-may-care young nobleman, and frequently did not attend church.
