Welcome to week six of the CRS Rice Bowl!
As we walk with Jesus through Holy Week, we call to mind the countless men, women and children who even today carry heavy crosses: crosses of hunger, of homelessness, of a lack of resources or security. In these brothers and sisters we encounter Christ, as he walks that long road to Calvary. In these encounters, it’s important not to forget an essential pillar of Lenten spirituality—almsgiving—which allows us to help those who are most in need.
Pray: We pray for our global family members carrying heavy crosses caused by hunger, climate change and poverty.
May our prayers and actions help them with these burdens.
Amen
