till it hurts/'-if'5 a saying
used to encourage generosity, particularly from the pocketbook. Another way to say it is "Give till you feel it." Many people give generously from their excess, but these slogans invite a giving from the core of ourselves and our material possessions.
"Give
This kind of giving is clearly modeled by the woman in today's readings. The widow in r Kings gives Elijah her last scraps of food-it's all she has in time of sever drought. Her trust is rewarded with a lasting supply of food for her household. ln today's Gospel, Jesus commends the widow for her contribution to the treasure, though it's a meager amount. He sees that she's giving from her poverty-"all she had." Her generosity outshines the wealthy contributors with their large sums of money. And, of course, Jesus is the ultimate model of selfless generosity, pouring out his life on the cross.
"Giving till you feel it" is one way to frame this kind of gener:osity. But I wonder if "giving till they feel it" is another-giving so others can feel that your heart is in the gift. Fro some, that means giving more money so the needy can feel relief from hunger or homelessness. For others, this means giving our undivided attention to a friend or colleague who needs a listening ear, giving fully of our Iimited time so they feel heard and embraced. Fro parents, this means giving our limited energy to a sick child in the middle of the night, giving completely so the child feels security and healing. This kind of generosity-from the core of our lives-is the model Jesus left us. Can we "give untiltheyfeel it?" J an e I Esker s u n dayb u lleti n s @ li g u o ri. o rg

The Catechismof theCatLnlicChurchcalls it "an extension of the Eucharistic celebration" (1178). For this reason, pastors are encouraged to celebrate the principal hours "in church on Sundays and on the more solemn feasts" (1175). Clergy and religious are obligated to pray the Liturgy of the Hours. Lay participation is optional and can be done as a group or individually. Books of prayers and hymns for people who want to pray the Liturgy of the Hours on their own are available from book retailers, including Liguori

The Liturgy of the Hours "is distinguished from other liturgical actions by the fact that it consecrates to God the whole rycle of day and night" (General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours, 10). In this way, the Church fulfills the Lord's precept to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians

Your cousin is talking about Liturgy of the Hours. Also known as the divine office or breviary, Liturgy of the Hours consists of a set form of psalms, canticles, prayers, Scripture, and meditations for every hour of every day. Its format has changed little since the eleventh century.
