REFLECTION FOR TODAY
The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.
-- St Basil

READINGS FOR TODAY
First Reading: Philippians 2:5-11
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider it robbery to be equal with God,
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
