Do Not Hunger for Special Graces
“It is the most cogent proof of our overweening pride to think that God gives us His best gifts just because we hanker after them. Humility is the price of God’s most precious favors. ‘Every proud man is an abomination to the Lord’ (Prov. 16:5). ‘God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble’ (James 4:6).”
Today's Reflection:
Identify what you consider to be some of God’s special graces. How could “hankering after” them be damaging to spiritual growth? Humility is the virtue highlighted here. Today I will ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate my heart to the occasions God offers me to practice this virtue today, and I will assess my progress in my evening examination of conscience.
