2020 Lenten Meditations – Friday, February 28th
Proverbs 19:17
“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.”
Kindness towards the poor is one of the greatest opportunities that we have to do something for our Lord. We receive so much day after day from God that it is in our kindness to the poor that we have an opportunity to do something in return. Who among us will deny Christ when he asks help from us?
Serving the girls at Our Little Roses in San Pedro Sula after my retirement as Bishop for 36 years has given me a wonderful opportunity to care for the abandoned, abused and the orphaned. Believe me your gifts make a real difference for good in the lives of our girls. Your kindness has transformed and continues transforming their lives. The Bible says that the Lord will reward you for what you do when you are kind to the poor and the needy and believe me God means what he says.
Bishop Leo Frade
