When we are right, when we believe we know what would be good for a person, we can quickly become self-righteous, patronizing, and lose sight of our own need for guidance and compassion. Pope Francis consistently has reminded us in the short time he has been Pope of the great need to be humble and loving. This is so very true when we are in the role of guiding others.
- What are the characteristics, behaviors, and thoughts that you may need guidance to improve?
- Where in your faith life do you need some instruction, support, or guidance?
- How can you continue to grow in your faith journey? Who can you turn to?
- Who might be in your circle of friends, family, acquaintances that you can gently guide on their journey?
- How can you more fully live a humble, loving life of service? What might you do in the next couple of days to take the next step on that journey?
