Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Wednesday, August 25, 2010

The servant of the Lord...must be able to teach, gently instructing those who oppose him.
- 2 Timothy 2:24-25

Reflection: All who undertake to teach must be endowed with deep love, the greatest patience, and, most of all, profound humility. They must perform their work with earnest zeal. Then, through their humble prayers, the Lord will find them worthy to become fellow workers with Him in the cause of truth.
- St. Louis

Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to teach others about You by my example as well as my words. Grant that I may spread Your truth and Your light wherever I go.
