He Who Works With His

Nothing Can Tend So Much To Humble Us Before The Mercy And Justice Of God As The Consideration Of His Benefits And Our Own Sins. Let Us, Then, Consider What He Has Done For Us, And What We Have Done Against Him; Let Us Call To Mind Our Sins In Detail, And His Gracious Benefits In Like Manner, Remembering That Whatever There Is Of Good In Us Is Not Ours, But His, And Then We Need Not Be Afraid Of Vainglory Or Of Taking Complacency In Ourselves.

Let Us Also Love Our Neighbors As Ourselves. Let Us Have Charity And Humility. Let Us Give Alms Because These Cleanse Our Souls From The Stains Of Sin. Men Lose All The Material Things They Leave Behind Them In This World, But They Carry With Them The Reward Of Their Charity And The Alms They Give. For These They Will Receive From The Lord The Reward And Recompense They Deserve.

Every Day He Humbles Himself Just As He Did When From From His Heavenly Throne Into The Virgin's Womb; Every Day He Comes To Us And Lets Us See Him In Lowliness, When He Descends From The Bosom Of The Father Into The Hands Of The Priest At The Altar.

Be Praised, O My Lord By Brother Wind, By Air And Cloud And Every Clime To Whom Thou Givest Sustenance Unto Their Kind.

When We Pray To God We Must Be Seeking Nothing - Nothing.
