SOCIAL CONCERNS

Lent & the Corporal Works of Mercy Scripture:

Luke:12:15,32

Luke 14:12:14

Luke 21:1-4

Matthew 25:31-36

Traditionally, Lent is a time when we talk about "giving up" things.

Maybe we should also think in terms of "giving" to replace the give ups.

Sharing of our time, talents and treasure with our parish, community and world would be a good way to do this.

The corporal works of mercy would provide a good place to look for inspiration.

 " I was hungry and you fed me, I was lonely and you visited me...etc."

What can we do this Lenten season to share our blessings and make our world a brighter place?
