But you are allowing things to blind reality. The Lord says you come to give sacrifices to the temple but walk by your brother in need and do nothing. Any one of these things aren’t bad. What is bad is that we do not allow the very best of things to penetrate us. The first four days of Lent is a special period. If you want to follow Jesus, deny yourself, and pick up your cross. Hear the insights within the Homily. Charity and prayer are not optional, but obligatory. You cannot have a relationship with the Lord, without caring for His people.
