Worthy

 I find a good way to treat someone is as if they are worth something.  A lot of people lack self-worth.  If I try and be helpful but with an attitude that they are beneath me, then I do not subscribe to their having any self-worth.  The action is all about me and my self-worth.  This is the problem with clericalism.  Clergy act as if they are above others, better than others and so on.  I try to act with the attitude that helping you actually helps me.  Then, if my efforts to help you fail, at least I am helping me to stay on a spiritual path.  Results are not up to me.

  1. "Practicing these principles in all my affairs", comes to mind. Thanks for being a lighthouse to others, Father Ryan. 🤗
