Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.- Lk 18:14
Reflection: Observe a surprising fact. God is on high. You exalt yourself and God flees from you. You humble yourself and He comes to you. God looks upon the humble to exalt them, but He regards the proud from afar to abase them.
- St. Augustine
Prayer: Almighty Father whenever I seek to take pride in what I do, remind me of the way things really are. The only good I have comes from You, all that is mine is my weakness.
From: Everyday Is A Gift (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)
