✨ To meditate on today
According to Saint Augustine, sharing our bread, welcoming the poor and clothing the naked means recognizing in each person a “fellow citizen of our clay”, that is, a brother or sister made of the same human clay as we are. Today, share something concrete (a meal, a piece of clothing, a little of your time) with someone who needs it, looking at them as your equal.
