Jesus said to his disciples.......
Take care not to perform righteous deeds
In order that people may see them.
Otherwise you will have no recompense from
Your Heavenly Father.
When you give Alms
do not blow a trumpet before you
as the Hypocrites do in the synagogues and
in the streets to win the praise of others.
Amen I say to You,
they have received their reward.
But when you give Alms
Do not let your left hand know
what your Right hand is doing
so that your alms giving may be secret.
And your father who sees in secret will repay you.
When you pray, do not be like Hypocrites
who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and
on the street corners, so that others may see them.
Amen I say to You
they have received their reward.
When You fast, do not look Gloomy like the hypocrites
they neglect their appearance
so that they may appear to others to be fasting.
Amen I say to You
they have received their reward.
but when you fast anoint your head and wash your face
so that you may not appear to be fasting
except to your Father who is hidden
and your Father who sees what is hidden will repay You.
-- Matthew.
