Pride

Your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
Mt.6:18

Jesus is giving his sermon on the mount and is warning against pride, especially pride in the religious activities of almsgiving, prayer and fasting.

It's not a question about whether to pray, give alms and fast. It's a question about my attitude in doing them. Pride can so easily enter into these activities, robbing them of any good effect. It's good for me to remember that my Father in Heaven "sees all". That is reward enough and also warning enough. 

Jesus, forgive me Lord for my puffed up pride that even enters my relationship with you. Help me be content that our Father sees all. 
Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
