Theme : “ Community of goods ”
Text : Acts 4:32-35
32. The multitude of those who believed were one heart and one soul. No one said that his property was his own, but everything was common between them. 33. The apostles bore very powerful witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace rested upon them all. 34. For there was none among them needy: all that had fields or houses sold them, brought the price of what they had sold, 35. and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distributions were made to each according to his need.
Let's remember:
The early church was built on the foundations of love, one of the values of which was the community of goods. This expression is not only a matrimonial regime but it is also a choice of society for citizens wishing to eliminate poverty in their midst. The community of property consists in putting all of one's property to contribution for common use. This is the superlative of team altruism. What marriage has in common is love. Such an agreement requires seriousness, truth and sincerity. Good faith must characterize all those who embark on this community choice. Originally, there is the observation of an imbalance of gain and wealth within a group of people. There are some who earn a good living and others less well; still others are destitute. In love, those who have goods decide to collect them for the good of all. The Church must also allow the common management of spiritual gifts, musical equipment, premises… The common fund is a good start provided that we put sincerity into it. Excellent Monday. Amen Alain Louz.-
