VIRTUE OF THE WEEK: OTHER - CENTERED

1. Other-Centered

VIRTUE

Our Virtue of this week is being OTHER - CENTERED:  The strength to attend to the needs of others.

PRAYER

Lord, You were the most OTHER - CENTERED person who ever lived.  You came to Earth for others, You worked, prayed, and sacrificed for others.  You even gave Your life for others: for us, all of us, for me.  Give us the strength to be OTHER-CENTERED like You.  To play, sweat, work and strive for each other without worrying about ourselves.

BIBLE QUOTE

Matthew 6:19-25
Mark 10:45

SAINT OF THE WEEK
