Greetings to all.
Ziz Ziglar (1926-2012), the American writer once wrote, “ Be strong, but not rude; Be kind but not weak; Be bold, but not bully, Be humble, but not timid; Be proud, but not arrogant”.
God gives us so many gifts that we may use for others. Be it our strength, our kindness, our boldness, and most of all our humility.
All these are tools of peace in building up the kingdom of God here on earth. But we also can use them to dominate others, to make others subservient to ourselves that whatever they do will benefit us. This is truly a misuse of these gifts.
In our prayer, let us employ the Holy Spirit to help us see the needs of others and to put to good use these God given gifts.
Peace and All Good,Fr. Vinnie, osf
