Anyone who loves his life loses it, but the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.- John 12:25
Reflection: There are Christians who are still puffed up with inordinate self-love. Such persons should not think that they have achieved renunciation of self or that they are really following Jesus Christ.
- St. John of the Cross
Prayer: Heavenly Father, uproot in me all inordinate love of self. Enable me to have a true Christian attitude toward myself, so that I may really be a follower of Your Son.
From: Every Day Is A Gift (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)
