WE START TO A TRUE WAY OF CONVERSION
The celebration of the Ashes us into the Lenten journey towards Easter. It is a time of prayer, penance and reflection.
The Gospel of Matthew that is being proposed Calls to do good works. It pushes everyone to be next for the brothers to donate time, space, words, goods to those encountered in our journey.
But in addition to listing a series of works of charity, the Gospel passage shows how to perform them. Beginning with the discretion, by simplicity, by shunning any sort of advertising or self-congratulation. It is the virtue of humility required to do charity, not the glory or pride to be able to do good.
The main goal is to never ever hurt the person receiving good, not to make her feel uncomfortable. So in prayer. It must be confident, steady, but concrete.
The Lord knows our needs and is ready to help. You only need to put in the provision of waiting around for him like grace and to consider that may not immediately grant the request in view of the greater good ..
