Father Anthony recommends that we pray Psalm 103 after confession in praise of God who gives us His love and compassion.

Father Anthony reflects on the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, revealing how generosity and compassion open the way to eternal life. He shows how indifference to the suffering of others hardens the heart, while true discipleship means seeing Christ in the poor—and giving with love that bridges heaven and earth.

Father Anthony uses the story of Cain and Abel to demonstrate how important it is to express gratitude to God for the talents of others and ourselves rather than to allow envy to creep in.
