Albinus, also known as Aubin, entered the monastery of Tincillac when a youth, was elected Abbot when he was thirty-five, and was named Bishop of Angers in 529. He was known for his generosity to the sick and the indigent, widows, and orphans, for his work in ransoming slaves, and for his holiness and the many miracles he is reputed to have performed both during his lifetime and after his death. His feast day is March 1.

After 30 years if giving, I now earn enough to the point that I give 40 percent of my income to God and to the poor. (Hey, I know I’ll lose a few rewards in heaven for telling you how much I give. But I don’t care. I want to inspire people to give more to God and to the poor.)
This is why I say I’m truly rich:because I’m a giver. But here’s my real dream: to do a reverse tithe.
I want to earn so much that I can give 90 percent — and live on the remaining 10 percent . (Yes, I’ve got it all plotted out, written down in my 15-page Dream Book that I’ve been reading each morning for more than 10 years now.)
I’m not saying that you should give 40 percent of your income to God and the poor. That’s my personal decision. My life has been so involved in ministry and service and I know its many needs. That’s why I made that my dream. But this my challenge to you: Earn to give. And it’s true:God cannot be outdone in giving. |

Reflection:
What do you have that isn’t from God?
To You, O Lord, I owe all that I am and all that I have. Grant me a generous heart and spirit so I can give to those who need my help. |
