Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him?
We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it, because You share it with us. We are one, united in this light and one with You, at peace with all creation and ourselves.
The glory of your Father is your own.
This lesson invites you to set aside the false humility that hides your true greatness. "Let not the truth about ourselves be hidden today by false humility. Let us instead be grateful for the gifts our Father has given us." False humility is that hypocritical modesty that says: "Oh no, I am not so special, I do not deserve so much love.
The lesson asks questions that break the chains of unworthiness: "Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And could we not be among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him?" If God.
The closing prayer expresses restored unity: "We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it, because You share it with us. We are one, united in this light and one with You, in peace with all creation and with ourselves." You are not separate from God, not separate from your brothers, not separate from creation.
Practice:
Today, practice true humility: look in the mirror and say: "I am the glory of God. I give thanks for the gifts He has given me." If an inner voice protests that this is arrogance, recognize it as false humility and choose the true. Then, look at each person you meet and recognize the same glory in them: "In you too shines the glory of God.
To refuse your glory is not humility: it is to refuse the gift God gave you with such love. Accept it, and you will discover you have never been less than the reflection of His light.
