Virtue Befitting a Son of God

     Here is a little something that I read and I would like you all to hear (or read) and take to heart.  It comes from a little book by Jose Marie Escriva called The Way:

#440   When you have finished your work, Do your brother's, helping him, for the sake of Christ, with such finesse and naturalness that no one --not even he-- will realize that you are doing more than in justice you ought.  

     This indeed is virtue befitting a son of God.

  I know that all of you know the reward that comes from this kind of service but the most difficult part of this assignment is keeping it to yourself when you have accomplished it. Generosity that is not, and does not become self service is real charity.
