From the Gospel according to Mark. Mark 10:28-31

Peter began to say to Jesus, ‘We have given up everything and followed you.”
Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands
for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. But many that are first will be last, and the last will be first.”

The Gospel of the Lord

Well Paid

When we talk about labor contracts, no one ever feels they receive more than they give. However, in missions for the Lord, which are not financially compensated, we all agree that we receive far more than we give. That is a mark of the Holy Spirit—when He moves through us, He always leaves His imprint.
Today, we can say that we are witnesses to the truth of this Gospel.

Applied to Married Life:

Rachel: George, do you know how to tell if you were truly the one behind an act of service to others?

George: Because before doing it, I entrusted myself to the Holy Spirit?

Rachel: Well, yes, but also because afterward, you experience being blessed with a gift from God just for having given yourself.

George: That’s true. I’ve felt that before. And another sign is that I don’t feel tired while I’m serving others. Instead, I finish with a desire to do it again. Doesn’t that happen to you, Rachel?

Rachel: Yes, yes, it does! The only problem is that if I leave it too, that desire fades.

George: That’s true! So, it’s best to give ourselves often, so we don’t lose that drive.

Mother,

The Lord rewards even our smallest acts of service most generously. Blessed be the Lord.
