Reflection for Wednesday March 2 2022

 

Mt 6: 1 – 6, 16 – 18.

Jesus spells out for me the three pillars of religion: Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. These I must do to please God alone and not for human approval and recognition. Do I make a show of my prayer and good deeds? What things do I want to abstain from? What charitable deeds will I carry out? Will I participate actively in the stations of the cross and draw spiritual fruits from the exercise? What virtue do I want to obtain during this Lent?

LET US PRAY
Dear Jesus, may my sacrifices and mortifications during this Lenten season help me to be closer to you. May my prayer, fasting and almsgiving help to burn every single speck of sin in me and remind me of my mortality and the need for repentance. Help me to acquire a handful of virtues during this season of penitential grace. May my love for you increase everyday. May the practice of Lent lead me to the reward of God. Amen.
