Reflection

“Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others.”
–Philippians 2:3-4

Prayer

Selfless love,

Even in the midst of doing good our motives are so often mixed. We like the recognition that comes from success and achievement, sometimes too much. Help us purify our hearts more and more, so that all we do and say comes from an authentic spirit of humility. A spirit that recognizes our interdependence upon one another and is always on the lookout for ways to meet the needs of others, especially those who are most vulnerable among us. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on my motives in the work I perform. Retrieve a spirit of humility.
