My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to conduct our affairs with humility, and we will be greater in heaven and find favor with God. So let us learn to be humble by depending solely on God through recognizing our own shortcomings and our limitations; by knowing more about ourselves through self- awareness and acknowledging our weaknesses. And lastly, by showing our love for God in our generosity and service to others.
