Lent 2016: Week III Alms-giving and Identity

The quote I used from St. Basil the Great’s homily on Charity can be found at this parish website from Wyoming (it’s the third paragraph of the italicized text). I take great consolation in the hope that our charitable giving will not just atone for our sins, but in fact, give us a new identity and relationship with God’s holy People: his beloved poor. Solidarity Sunday is fast approaching: if your copy of Development + Peace’s Solidarity Calendar didn’t survive its time on the fridge door, you can get another copy here. Who are we? The “Ka-ching!”s in our life will probably let us know.
