“Be careful you don’t do your giving before
others, to be seen by them, or you’ll have no reward from your Father in
heaven. When you show compassion, don’t sound a trumpet, as the hypocrites do
in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from others. You
can be sure they have received their reward. But when you do merciful deeds,
don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does, so that your merciful
deeds may be in secret; your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”
Reflection
Few people find it easy to be humble.
Do you become upset when those you help fail to be sufficiently grateful? How
important to you is it to be recognized for the good you do?
Prayer: Help me, Lord, do good for goodness
sake and not for enhancing my status
in the eyes of others.
