As today is both Veterans Day and the Feast of Saint Martin of Tours, it gives us two reasons to think of Father Capodanno and ask for his intercession. Father Capodanno, pray us and for all veterans who have served our nation.

On this Ash Wednesday 2021, we read from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 6, verses 1-6 & 16 – 18. Matthew tells us in this reading that Jesus taught his disciples, and us, to not seek recognition for doing good deeds, which is the opposite of what we see in the media. Matthew writes “Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them…”

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent. A time when we are invited to experience who we are in God’s eyes. The Gospel tells us that whatever we do during Lent, and any other time, we should do as a genuine response to God’s love, not so that people see us.

Lent is a time when we need to accept Christ’s love for us by sharing that love and forgiveness with others. Christ became human so that he could experience human life and its frailties and could suffer and die for our salvation. Christ’s gift to us was a pure gift of love. No strings attached. We didn’t do anything to deserve his love, but like any gift given out of love, we need to accept it. We can open ourselves to accept Christ’s gift during Lent by our prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

As we walk with Jesus during these next 40 days, we ask him to share our joys, our sorrows, our temptations, and our victories, and we ask him to help us accept his gift of love. We also ask him to share and heal the brokenness in our life, and, to help us do the same for our sisters and brothers, but without seeking to be noticed. As Matthew writes “Wash your face so that you may not appear to be fasting…your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.”

Lord, Jesus. during these 40 days of Lent, I ask you to walk beside me as I try to walk with you. Give me the wisdom and the grace to love and serve others without recognition as you have always loved and served me.
