Monday of the Second Week of Lent

Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, Bishop, Doctor (315-386)

Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 39 The Proper Amount of Food
Mass: Dn 9:4b-10; Resp Ps 79; Lk 6:36-38


Yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness.

Jesus instructs us:

Be merciful
Stop judging
Stop condemning
Forgive 
Give

The measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.

How do we not judge, not condemn, and forgive? 'Give and it will be given to you.'; be generous in giving. Not only material alms, but spiritual alms too: spend time with someone in need, visit someone who is sick, offer a smile.
(Pope Francis, Twitter, March 18, 2019)

SAINT CYRIL OF JERUSALEM, PRAY FOR US.
