26th Sunday of Ordinary Time
“Do nothing out of selfishness; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves…” (Philippians 2:3) Pride and ego are hard things to control. We see how others act or dress and think we are superior to them. We idolize our own self-image. But, if we truly believe everything is a gift from God, we recognize all the people that God has put into our lives as gifts! We are grateful for how they enrich our lives. Pray every day for the people in your life: your family, your friends, and those who make you angry.
26º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"No hagas nada por egoísmo; más bien, consideren humildemente a los demás como más importantes que ustedes ... " (FILIPENSES 2:3) El orgullo y el ego son cosas difíciles de controlar. Vemos cómo actúan o visten los demás y pensamos que somos superiores a ellos. Idolatramos nuestra propia imagen. Pero, si realmente creemos que todo es un regalo de Dios, ¡reconocemos a todas las personas que Dios ha puesto en nuestras vidas como regalos! Estamos agradecidos por cómo enriquecen nuestras vidas. Ora todos los días por las personas en tu vida: tu familia, tus amigos y aquellos que te hacen enojar.
