Living the Gospel this week. Humility Prayer
On this 22nd Sunday in ordinary Time year C, we focus on Humility as a path to greatness. Pray this week asking God, the grace to let go of your need to be admired and the center of attention in everything. Dear friends, by experience, I know it is hard to put God first when we are focused on ourselves. So this week, by the power of the Holy Spirit, pray and ask for God to help you get rid of the self-centeredness which gets in the way of discipleship. By asking God to help us be humble, we can better follow Jesus and live more generously and compassionately.
Theresa of Avila speaking of humility wrote: “Humility ‘persuades the Lord to give us all what we want from him’; humility ‘conquers everything’; humility is truth; it is only through the growth in humility that we measure our progress in spiritual life.” (Way of Perfection 16:1-2)
Jesus, I trust in you
