It's good to admit that we have gifts and talents that are useful to others or give them pleasure to watch or hear. Humility is not denial. What humility does it to give the credit where it is due. Yes, we may have trained at the crease to become a great batsman or spent years practising scales at the piano, but all that we have comes from God. If we are good at something then it simply means that we have applied ourselves to develop what God has planted within us.
Christian humility is actually about thanks.
It's the recognition that God has gifted us in so many ways and it demands our grateful response to the source of all good things. If a relative or friend is admitted into hospital, please inform the Parish Office so that we can tell the Chaplain or contact the Hospital Chaplaincy direct via the hospital switchboard. A lovely opportunity to gather with friends from St. Mary's, St. Francis and St. Lukes. Current Youth leaders should let the Office know if they no longer wish to help. Mass. If you feel called to this special ministry, please have a word with Father Michael.
