Tawau: The Lenten Season is an
opportunity to be more generous to those less fortunate. It is an occasion to
reach out to the weaker strata of society. We are called to share the blessings
we have received from the Almighty.
Pope Francis in this year’s
Lenten message shared, “When we give alms, we share in God’s providential care
for each of his children. If through me God helps someone today, will he not
tomorrow provide for my own needs?”
This annual out-reach event
was initiated by the CCR team. SSVP and PHDC participated in this Lenten event
since the last two years. This indeed is a calling for close cooperation and
collaboration between church ministries. It is a way forward in realizing our
vision, ‘Christ-centred community serving one another with love.’
The joint-groups provided 30
boxes of mineral waters and 30 boxes of groceries containing food for daily use
and toiletries. There were also goody-packs for all children of the 30
families. The program is for all needy people regardless of race, background
and religious beliefs.
It is a blessing to be able to
contribute to the less fortunate. Such Corporal Work of Mercy, in providing for
their material needs is a reflection of the unconditional love of Christ.
