Matthew 6:2
“When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win praise of others.”

As we enter into the season of Lent…many Christians will receive ashes on their heads today. Let us make sure that this ritual is to remind us that our earthly time is fleeting…and not to attract attention to ourselves. Jesus goes through a litany of instructions against hypocrisy…such as doing good deeds and giving alms to receive accolades. Let us use this time of Lent to practice letting go of our ego’s desires and wants…so that we might better be able to serve the needs of others.
