Homily for Monday of the 2nd Week of Lent

We often measure our success in life through what we have compiled, whether it be money, belongings, or achievements.

The person of faith, however, is called to invest love, caring, and compassion in people without seeking a reward. In God’s eyes, love and mercy are what matter most. Jesus calls all of us to love one another as God loves us: unconditionally and without limit. And in the end, God will reward us with the things of heaven.

Let us pray that God will open our minds and hearts to look at the things of heaven as the ultimate reward for all that we do in this life.+
