In this passage, Jesus reminds his listerners how necessary it is not to show off when we are giving alms.We help others not for publicty or for getting the applause of other people. We help people because we love them and we know that God loves them too. God wants us to use our talents and reources to help others. Our attitude when we help others should be one of love and generosity.There should be no intention of getting any publicity out of what we do for others.When we help others sincerely and with love, God will take care of our needs."Your Father who sees in secret will repay you."
How easy it is for us to be carried by the approval of others. But that approval and publicty are worthless. We become more selfish and lose the sense of pure genersoity and love .
Today we shall ask the Lord for the grace to help others wthout any motive for publicity or approval.Popular approval has no value. What is important is how we stand before Lord.
Lord, give me the grace to avoid the desire for approval or publicity.
