"By works of charity one offers fine flour, and one who gives alms presents a sacrifice of praise." Sirach 35:3-4
Back in the Old Testament, the offering of flour was used to feed the poor and alms giving was also used for those in need. How we give makes a difference, is it done out of love, do we do it so others can see. We have opportunities each day to give love, do we stop and help someone in need. How you treat others is another way of singing praise to God. To follow Christ is to love your fellow man as He would. Building our treasure in Heaven isn't just putting our tithe into the collection plate, it is much more than that.
Dear Heavenly Father, You present to us another day to follow You. Today will be different, I ask that I think about my actions and how they praise and worship You. May my eyes not be focused on self but see the injustices around me and do something. May my life praise You with the gifts that You have provided and may it always be done with love. Triune God be my all, Triune God be my all, Triune God be my all. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Intercessions, pray for us.
