Service becomes more genuine when it is free from the need for praise, influence, or something in return. We can help because help is needed, whether anyone notices us or not. Serving everyone well and without hidden motives allows our actions to speak for themselves.
Inspired by Chiara Lubich
Word of Life, October 1982
Prayer for Selfless Service
God, free our service from the need to be noticed or rewarded. Give us generous hearts that are ready to help anyone with sincerity and care. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away.
