Nativity Podcast 65. Lent, Almsgiving, & Encountering Jesus in the Homeless with No Hands But Yours
Nativity Parish Burke
Monetary donations are very important, but almsgiving is about more than giving money... This episode of The Nativity Podcast explores how almsgiving, a spiritual pillar of the Lenten season, can transform your heart through the act of charity. Co-hosts Father Jordan Evans and Mary Castellano are joined by guests John Rubino and Mike Arens to discuss how providing food and supplies to those experiencing homelessness in Washington, DC and Northern VA through Nativity’s No Hands But Yours homeless outreach follows Christ’s own example of loving your neighbor. This discussion illustrates that almsgiving is a relational practice rather than a mere financial decision. This Lent, our hosts challenge you to take a step outside of your comfort zone and give in a way that deepens your relationship with Christ by doing what He asks us, “whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matt 25:40) Listen to our original episode about No Hands But Yours: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/oHM8OwIiJ0b Listen to last year's Lenten episode on Fasting: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/p7Psz3cfG0b
