The purpose of Lent is to help us turn away from sin and turn to God. This is hard work! We pray, fast and give alms in order to imitate Christ by sharing in His Passion. These Lenten penances serve as exterior manifestations of our faith, hope and charity. Today let us focus upon charity, which is absolutely essential for salvation. This reality is exemplified in the lives of two third century Antiochians: Sapricius the priest and Nicephorus the layman who suffered under the persecution of Valerian (260 AD). How willing are you to forgive and to ask for forgiveness? Let us reflect upon charity as it is revealed to us by God through St Paul in today’s epistle and examine our conscience. Finally, seven brief spiritual gems can help guide and inspire us to grow in this supernatural virtue. For more please visit http://svfonline.org/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest
