Lent Day 36 - Why is Almsgiving Valuable? Almsgiving is valuable because were members of a mystical body-were implicated in each other. I can never say that your suffering is not mine or that your neediness is not mine. All of us are co-implicated. Were responsible for each other and giving alms is a very concrete way to acknowledge that. Almsgiving is also tied to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Every Catholic is obligated, everyday, to practice those. Almsgiving offers a very clear and concrete way to fulfill that obligation.
