Are you a Literal-Agent of God? Ask yourself, do I feel Joy and Fulfilment in making somebody smile? Our Lord empowers others to apply His-Living-Words into their life; the Spirit-of-Christ moves Matter, Motive and Mountains of Grace into distinct creatures at every level. Some conform naturally, but most of us rebel and reject what we don’t Build, Buy or Understand. The Origin-of-God is a Mystery, but His Body-is-Boundless, His Word-is-True and His Love-is-Genuine. The Reason folks are confused by God because He’s perfect in every way, while humans Treason, He’s perfect this Lenten season.

But take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. (Matthew 6:1-10 NABRE)
