“The bread that you store up belongs to the hungry,
the cloak that lies in your chest belongs to the naked; the gold that you have hidden in the ground belongs to the poor.”
-St. Basil the Great
For Reflection:
To what extent do I have the food, clothing, and money of others in my possession? What do I resolve to do about it?
“O Spirit of truth, make me know Your Word; teach me to remember all He has said; enlighten me, guide me, make me comformable to Jesus as an ‘alter Christus’, another Christ, by giving me His virtues, especially His patience, humility, and obedience; let me take part in His redemptive work by making me understand and love the Cross.
