Homily for Monday of the 2nd Week of Lent

We often measure our success by what we have accumulated, such as money, possessions, or achievements.

However, those of us who have faith are called to invest our love, care, and compassion in others without expecting a reward. Love and mercy are what matter most in God's eyes.

Jesus instructs us to love one another unconditionally and without limit, just as God loves us. Ultimately, God will reward us with the things of heaven.

Let us pray that God will open our hearts and minds to focus on the things of heaven as the ultimate reward for all our actions in this life.
