I'm generous with God during Adoration, prayer, and fasting from my favorite things. I know I can be more generous.
I try to be generous with our Lord by going to Eucharistic Adoration! Looking at Him in the Monstrance, praying the rosary, reading good Catholic books, kneeling in His presence, and sitting and feeling so safe in His real presence. So peaceful, like the other things going on in the world and our country aren't happening right then. I also try to attend daily Mass as often as I can during Lent, and also pray the Family Rosary Across America with Father Rocky on Relevant Radio on my laptop every evening at 7 pm that we're home. +JMJ+
I have listened to your wonderful Lent and Christmas videos... the Generosity Habit is an incredibly outstanding series. There are so many ways to incorporate generosity into our daily lives... than you so much for reminding us of this and of opening our eyes to new ways. A few years ago, a new tradition was started in our family. Each child and grandchild are given $$$ for the year ahead. They are told that they will know the person to whom the money should go. We keep it secret till Christmas the next year when we all share where our money went. Some of the places were: to a teacher who had just lost her husband; to a maid in a hotel; food for tornado victims in Oklahoma; to a coworker who just had a child and is struggling to pay off bills; to a foster child; to a cancer charity; to a food delivery person who sobbed when she saw the money; etc. This tradition has now spread to other families. It is amazing how you will come across the person who deserves this.
Thank you for all you do.
God bless.

Thank you Matthew for another great lesson.
Thank you. Your reminders are immensely helpful.
Loved the message today, something I’ll listen to again and again
Before Lent, the first thing I did EVERY morning after I woke up, was get my coffee and play Candy Crush. I was completely and totally addicted to this game. I knew it and God knew it. It had become an obsession with me. Playing Candy Crush did not make me a bad person, it's a harmless game, really. There's no violence, no cussing, nothing inherently bad. EXCEPT that I put it first every morning. That's when I realized that, just because something is not BAD, it doesn't make it GOOD either. One of my two challenges for Lent was to give up this Game and spend that time with God. What an enormous difference this has made in my life. He comes first now and I can't tell you how much happier and joyful I am everyday. God first, then everything else will fall into place. Thank you again Matthew for reinforcing this ❤!!
Powerful reflection. Thanks for sharing.
Me too
Wow, you really made me think Cheri, because I spend to much time playing Hay Day also harmless but not doing anything good for me. When I go to daily Mass I feel much better. Thanks for sharing Im going to work on playing these games less and praying more.
@@susancuzelis5128 It was truly a challenge for me and I thank God that I heeded Him. I know He'd been on me about this for MONTHS so finally I said "Okay Lord, help me conquer this addiction". He did and it truly changed my life. My prayer are with you Susan!!🙏🙏🙏 You got this!!! 😃
Sharing your talents….I was humbled when our Priest asked me to paint a painting for our church after a recent remodel. It has taken months, but it is finally finished and ready to be hung. The blessings in this event is that I started listening to the Bible on my iPad. I would start the day listening to your words, listening then to a few Bible passages, and spending time in prayer. God gave me the talent of being an artist. To be able to give this talent to my church and my God, I am in hopes that it inspires others. The picture of Juan Diego, when he sees the rose bush that our Lady of Guadalupe gave as proof that she did visit him, hopefully draws people to learn and be more active in their faith. The journey is not always easy in our lives but thankfully we have those around us, like you, to remind us of the right path to take. I have great hopes to continue my time with God. Thank you and bless you for being here for us.
Thank you again, Matthew, for yet another great message today!
I often listen to your daily lesson over again, like today!
This was a great message with some very thoughtful comments.
Yes. It's so easy to want everything NOW. It's a matter of trust that GOD will meet our needs when He sees it is the right time. Sometimes the only reason He makes us wait is to develop patience and trust. Other times it's because He wants us to look at something that is off in our lives. And other times still it's because other people who are part of our answer to prayer aren't ready yet. Or what we need isn't available yet. I'm experiencing that waiting thing for a long time. But I get better and better trusting GOD'S timing.
Wow! This one was really awesome.
WOW, this made me Cry, in a Good Way. Thank YOU XXX
Very welcome. Delighted the message is resonating with you.
I have the book, excellent!
I have loved listening to your Generosity talks every day…and seeing those smiling faces!
Saturday is the Sabbath. Even the Roman Catholic church acknowledges that.
Generosity is sharing your smiling and clapping children with us. Thank you Matthew. And thank you for all that you say.
Thanks Lucille🙂 Delighted this series is inspiring you.
I agree! Seeing their bright faces every day brings a smile to my face.
@@brucehauge3434 Same here!
I'm enjoying these videos so much, am so glad I decided to make them a daily part of this year's Lenten journey, and I know that their influence and effect on my life will extend beyond Lent, into the rest of my life. I am living every day more and more, in "generosity consciousness", and finding many more ways to be generous. So grateful Matthew for sharing all this with us, you really have an amazing gift for articulating things in the most perfect ways! And thank you for including your wonderful kids in these videos, what a generous thing to do!
Strong and simple words today. Why wouldn't we want to spend time with our most generous Father? I appreciate the way you break down the theology and bring it to the laity. Thank you.
Your words of wisdom and the love and energy of the children have been a source of joy each and every day. Thank you sincerely for your dedication and devotion to building up The Family of God!
Ah man... hit it right on the head. I often times, when praying my rosary, feel like I need to he cleaning or getting something done and become a total Martha, not paying attention to the most guest of my prayers.
I am a steward… I need to learn to be a gracious one
Delighted the message is resonating with you.
Wow! This is sooo rich🙏 I love ❤️ all the talks! This one here is the best of the best! It touches everything that melts and make me really masticate every word and want to strive and be generous in every aspect in life! Thank you Matthew! Thank You 🙏 Jesus. I love ❤️ you 😘
Outstanding reflection Matthew!!!
Thanks Charles. Hope you will share with many.
Start everyday with God. Pray a prayer of thanks before you even get out of bed.
Great wisdom.
I live this reflection today. It is so helpful to hear the importance of being generous with our time, talents, and treasure. This is what leads us to our purpose and fulfilling it on a daily basis. It's so easy to say to someone 'pick up your cross', but some people have very heavy crosses! Being generous helps that in so many ways. Thank you for this message.
As you said Matthew, is about recognizing that everything is a gift from God especially my life. He chose me to become His child with the purpose of glorifying Him. Thank you Lord.

How blessed I feel when I give….I am at my best when I am a good steward with what God blessed me with…that’s where true peace is…
Indeed.
Since I was a wee child, whenever I was bummed, my Mom would say, find someone to help 👍🙏
It works if you work it 👍
VIVA CRISTO REY 🙏
Awesome 👏👏👏 Thank you Matthew and Beautiful Family 🙏🙏🙏
What a great generosity habit for today. Being generous with the time I spend with God, especially approaching Holy Week gives me a lot to think about today. And better plan where and how I spend my time. Thank you for this great topic today.
You're very welcome, I'm delighted it served you. Hope you will share with many!
Every good and perfect gift comes from above. I will pay attention to James' words and praise God for the precious gifts he's given me: the miracle of my son and daughters births 33 and 31 years ago respectively.
Powerful. Thanks for sharing.
@@MatthewKellyAuthor thank YOU for the best Lent ever!
Thank you, Matthew for another beautiful reflection. You know I think sometimes, I focus more on the gift than the giver, especially when I do not like, want, or need what was given to me. That is selfish of me, but I am aware of it, and I feel this video brought it to my attention once again. With that said, I know I must focus on the giver, most especially the Giver of Givers, God himself. We owe him nothing since he created everything, but we gotta offer everything up to him. I do my best to Thank Him everyday for providing me more than I deserve, know, understand, and remember because I know he provides things that I don't ask for and I may not be aware of it all. I know I can always offer up more to God. As I've been telling all these prayer/faith groups I have done during Covid, there is no such thing as overpraying. It is not like you go to confession and tell the priest that you prayed too much. Especially now, my schedule and priorities have changed, the world has kinda gone back to normal, but I know I must do as much prayer as I can, even if it is my leftover time. Yes, I must do more than the scraps, but it is a start and better than nothing. Pray for me as I use these videos and other daily resources to come closer to Our Lord. God Bless All of You. - Juls
You'll really like Wisdom 13:1-9 👍🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
Thanks for sharing Juls.
@@MatthewKellyAuthor, You are most welcome.
Wisdom 13:1-9 jumps out to me on this one. Especially the end 😉
🤔 What took you so long to discover the Creator of it ALL 🤔
Song for the day, Michelle Pillar and Lenny Leblanc - (You were there All Along)👍🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏🍀💚
Clearly Matthew & Dynamic catholic you put everything in perspective With the daily Lenten videos. Thank you as I continue to learn and grow in my spirituality.
Very welcome, delighted they are serving you. Hope you will share them with many.
Wonderful point Matthew, everything belongs to Him. Our time, talent and treasure belongs to God and we will have to account to Him, for our use of them. Great questions, How generous am I to God and would I rob from God?
I enjoy and grow in my spirituality each time I listen to your videos. I especially love seeing those children everyday. They make me smile to hear them follow the teachings of Christ. Thank you.
I'm delighted this series is inspiring you Elizabeth! Hope you will share with many.
@@MatthewKellyAuthor Many times.
Stewards of His Treasures! Good way to look at it...makes me stop and think. All our Time Talent and Treasure are gifts...we will account for all of these and what we did with them!
Indeed. Delighted the message is resonating with you.
