“Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.”

                            ~St. Francis of Assisi

For Reflection:

When I stand before the Lord, how full will my hands be of charitable works and gifts to the poor? What one act of charity can I perform today to show my love of God and neighbor?

32.1 Ordinary life is a means of and an occasion for meeting God.
When Christ is our primary concern all day long, then we will find ourselves working harder and better…Then we will avoid leading a double life: one life for God and another life dedicated to worldly affairs, business, politics, rest and so on…Pope John Paul II has written about unity of life: …The branch, engrafted to the vine which is Christ, bears its fruit in every sphere of existence and activity.
