TUESDAY, JUNE 28

ST IRENAEUS, BISHOP, MARTYR
ORDINARY WEEKDAY
Am 3: 1-8, 4-11
Ps 5: 4-8
Mt 8: 23-27

Humility is our wealth. Pride is a disgraceful and unhappy situation. Strive always to be humble as was St. Peter and St. Paul, who carried out prestigious works and established the Church's foundations (AAP 164, 169).

FROM FATHER TOM: A useful thought here and always is that the first and most important--and most difficult--thing is to be humble. That's essential. What "prestigious works" we may be called on to do is something secondary. The natural inclination is to perform the "prestigious works" in the full glare of publicity and let the humility take care of itself.  And so there will be quite a few surprises in heaven!
