Thought for the day: Humility, humiliation, low self-esteem: these things get all mixed up in our minds and in our feelings. In the past, humility was encouraged by humiliation, really an abuse, which must have caused much harm. Low selfesteem, the root of many problems and addictions, used to be confused with humility. A robust humility is really an exercise in truth-telling about ourselves. If we are to be grounded in the humus (earth) of our human existences, then we do need to be honest in our appraisal, affirming the good and recognising courageously our faults. Humility goes with being human. Prayer: As we affirm your gifts and rejoice in them, help us to be honest and know the full story, warts and all, that we come before you in need of your grace. Amen.
(Fr Kieran O’Mahony)
Pope Leo XIV on ‘X’ Christ speaks to His disciples of the “need to pray always, and not to lose heart.” Just as we never grow tired of breathing, let us never grow weary of praying! Just as breathing sustains the life of the body, so prayer sustains the life of the soul.
