"The Gospel for Ash Wednesday (Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18) is one of my favorite scriptural passages, for it teaches us how to be authentic in our Christian living. When giving alms, rather than let the whole world know what we are doing, we are encouraged to keep it between God and us for 'the Lord who sees in secret will reward in secret.' I see almsgiving as an expression of deep gratitude for everything the Lord has given to us and our way of expressing this awesome generosity and providence by giving back to those who are in need."
In a recent commentary, Fr. John Fisher, OSFS, reflected on the Lenten observances of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting.
