A proud and self-reliant man rightly fears to undertake anything, but a humble man becomes all the braver as he realizes his own powerlessness; all the bolder as he sees his own weakness; for all his confidence is in God, who delights to reveal His almighty power in our infirmity and His mercy in our misery.
St. Francis de Sales
Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, even though You are all powerful, You embraced our human powerlessness throughout Your life on earth, and You embrace it still in the Eucharist. You did nothing of Your own will but only of the will of Your Father. Help us, who are intrinsically powerless, to abandon our illusions of control and self-sufficiency, and give us the humility to relinquish our own wills and plans, so that like You, Jesus, we will do nothing on our own but will do only the Father’s will, and may we find true freedom and perfect power by always asking Your help. Amen.
