Words of the Holy Father
When we do something good, sometimes we are tempted to seek praise and to be rewarded: that’s human glory. But it’s a false reward because it makes us focus on what others think of us. Jesus asks us to do good for the sake of good. He asks us to feel we are under the watchful gaze of our Heavenly Father at all times and to live in relationship with Him – not in relationship with the opinion of others. Living in the presence of the Father gives us a much deeper joy than worldly glory can give us. (Audio-message to the young people of the Prelature of the Pontifical Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii, 10 February 2016)
