Committing to Service During Lent

During Lent, we are called to deepen our devotion to seek the Lord in prayer, to practice self-control through fasting and to service by giving alms.

In our call to service through alms giving, it is not only through the donation of money, but also be through the sharing of our time and talents.

As St. John Chrysostom reminds us: "Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2446).
