Grace Notes 2025-03-26Beloved in the Lord, this week I feel compelled to write to you about Christian unity. What compels me? I’m not sure. Hopefully we all know how dear this is to our Lord Jesus Christ. And at the same time, we are well aware of the lack of such unity and the damage this causes.
“As disciples of the Lord Jesus we are called to struggle against everything that leads us away from love of God and neighbor. Repentance, fasting, prayer, and works of love – the disciplines of Lent – help us to wage our spiritual warfare.” This is taken from the Liturgy for Ash Wednesday in the Lutheran Book of Worship.
On Ash Wednesday the Gospel Reading was taken from Matthew’s Gospel the 6th chapter. In the reading Jesus addresses three acts of piety: giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting. The first mentioned is also known as the giving of alms, or simply as charity.
