“Living a Humble Faith”: Jesus reminded His disciples to live their faith with humility and authenticity. Their “uprightness, alms giving, prayer and fasting must all be done out of their sincere love for God;not for their “self-glory”. Ponder on: “Humility is the virtue of living in God’s Truth; it is also discerning;deepening; and serving His Will for His Greater Glory.”

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your Father in heaven. When you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right is doing; your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you. 

‘And when you pray, go to your private room, shut yourself in, and so pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.

‘But when you fast, put scent on your head and wash your face, so that no one will know you are fasting except your Father who sees all that is done in secret; and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.’
