Blaise Pascal penned his famous wager... if God exists and you lived as such, you gain joy on earth and heaven in the afterlife; if God does not, but you still lived as such, you lose nothing. Today's readings give more perspective to Pascal's wager... if you give to God, you receive more than you gave, but if you give none, you lose even what you already have. There's a clincher though... that you give with love, and not merely as an "investment". Sounds like a tyrant to some, but when you give loving God a try, you'll find out it's the farthest from tyranny.
