My parish priest, Father John Mashburn, said something today that I think is worth repeating.
It was simple, his sermon, and eloquent as usual. Father said, "If you do a good work, forget about it, and move on to another good work."
Like I said, simply spoken but really a grand challenge. Especially if you're like me: I tend to be the type who remembers I'm a good Christian by the two dollars I gave to a homeless man two years back. Forget it, and move on...

Yeah, that one hit me square in the face, too. Even when I do forget, I remember that I forgot and think highly of myself for forgetting. I guess my pride never misses an opportunity.
