Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Friday, June 04, 2010

Do not say, "I am self-sufficient. What harm can come to me now?"
- Sirach 11:24

Reflection: Presumption is like vermin burrowing at the root of the tree of our soul. If we do not uproot it with great care and humility, it will eventually destroy the soul.
- St. Catherine of Siena

Prayer: All-powerful God, keep me from all presumption of mind and heart. Help me to realize that I depend on You for everything and of myself I can do nothing.
