Humility of Mary Day

Reflection

“My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God.” –Sirach 3:17-18

Prayer

God of life abundant,

Our hearts are full of gratitude and joy today, as we recognize the Sisters of the Humility of Mary and the gift of their ministry, to respond to the needs of the times with vision, courage, and generosity. As Bon Secours Mercy Health, we ask for a share in their spirit, that we might honor their name by embracing the humility of Mary your mother. Like Mary, may we always say “yes” to your call in our lives and each do our part, to bring your life-giving presence more and more into the world. Especially for the sake of those who are poor, dying, and underserved. Amen.

Call to Action

How can I embody humility today, so that God's abundant life might be shared with all those I encounter, especially those who are poor and vulnerable?
