Catholic Charities USA
Wednesday of the Second Week of Lent
Readings of the Day
[link removed]
Lent is a time for us to be humbled, a time to sit and reflect on
Jesus' love for us, and his willingness to die for us.
Today's gospel reminds us again of what Lent is all about:
Jesus' passion, death, and resurrection.
We are reminded that Jesus came, not to be served by us, but to serve
and give his life as a ransom for many. Within our work for Catholic
Charities, we are called to do the same. We are serving those around
us that are in pain and hurting physically and spiritually. We may not
be called to literally walk through Christ's stations, being
whipped and chastised, but we are called to bear our crosses. We are
asked to go out and care for the least among us.
As we continue to journey through this Lenten season, I invite you to
reflect more intently on your role in assisting the poor and
vulnerable in our communities. Do not get so caught up in the
treadmill of daily tasks that you forget that you are impacting an
individual. You are serving Christ each time that you help a client.
You are smiling at Christ each time that you look someone in the eyes.
Yes, we do this every day, but it is no less important to the 114th
client than the very first person you help. Jesus Christ is alive in
every person we encounter, and he asks us to love and serve them as he
would.
Kimberly Phelan is the Parish Relations Associate at Catholic
Charities of Central Texas. She graduated from Texas A&M in
December of 2018 and serves on both the youth and young adult
leadership teams for her home parish.
