Most of us think of treasure when we hear “almsgiving”, but giving our time can be more valuable. *Volunteer time at your parish during one of their Lenten activities. *Write cards to family and friends expressing ways they help you and thanking them for their support. *At Mass, introduce yourself to one new person each week of Lent and sit with them during the liturgy. *Look for someone each day that needs a helping hand at home, work, or school and help them. *Keep a Lenten hope list, write down names of those who need an extra dose of love and support; pray for them and check in with them to show your care.
