***Living the Secret Life in God

        In today's reading from Matthew 6, Jesus taught about almsgiving, prayer, and fasting. Essentially, the Lord teaches that if we do all these things openly to show how righteous we are, then we are like the hypocrites. Instead, he wants us to perform all righteous deeds secretly, known to the Father only, hidden from others. Then the Father wi'll repay us in secret. Blessed are those who remain humbly in the Lord, for they will have inner peace.
