1st Week of Lent - Monday C
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather today in this sacred season of Lent, our readings challenge us to reflect deeply on the practice of almsgiving—a practice rooted in love and deeply connected to our relationship with God and one another. This Lent, we are called through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to engage with our faith in the most profound ways, but we must particularly consider almsgiving as a living expression of God’s commandment: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Through today’s readings, God is asking us to re-evaluate how we treat each other.
