Woe to you — 5th Week — Day 6 — Great Lent
Today’s Gospel: Matthew 23:13–39
“Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation” (Matthew 23:36)
Meditation
Our Lord exhorts us to be faithful ministers of justice and mercy. Like the noble preachers of old, we are called to defend the poor, the widow, and the orphan.
Early Church Fathers’ Saying
“He loveth Mercy and Judgment: for He loveth Mercy, which now He showeth first; and Judgment, wherewith He exacteth that which He hath first shown.” St. Augustine of Hippo
Practical Practice
Today, offer a kind word or act of mercy at work—let your compassion be a living testimony of Christ’s justice.
