TITHING

Tithing

Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of God most High. He blessed Abram …. Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.  Genesis 14:18-20

Tithing is as old as the book of Genesis. Our Father in Faith, Abraham, realized that he had won the battle over his enemies, because God had given him the victory; and so, immediately Abraham gave the priest, Melchizedek, a tenth of his spoils. This then is why we are to give back to God a tenth of what the Almighty has given to us.

Typically, the Catholic Church tells us to tithe 1% to our Diocese (DSA), 5% to our local Church (Our Lady of Perpetual Help, St. Mary of the Assumption, St. Patrick Church), and the remaining 4% to any charitable organization that the Holy Spirit directs you. This gives us the familiar 5/4/1 ratio of tithing. However, with our smaller parish citizenship, a 6/3/1 ratio ought to be employed (6% going to your local Church and 3% to charities of your choice).

Remember, Abraham was grateful to the Almighty for everything God had given him, and so Abraham gave his Lord a 10th of his possessions; and God rewarded Abraham with even more blessings. This is how God operates, if you tithe.
