North Texas Marian Corps Mission Message
The Self
The Self: Needs, Wants and Humility
Let the rule of the self be known far and wide, for the care and concern
of self dominates over all over cares and concerns. What others need
and want matters only when it coincides with the needs and wants of
self. When they do not, those needs and wants are at the very least
neglected, and in certain occasions are actively suppressed.
This is the mantra of the selfish.
The ego, or the self, when it is most important, is elevated to the
status of the divine. This elevation of self is a clear example of
idolatry. It makes the self, the ego, the end of all things. It removes
God as the Alpha and the Omega, and the source of all goodness and
eternal happiness. This elevation goes against the heart of the Catholic
Faith, and is a mockery of the Mass, when Christ is elevated as the
Supreme Sacrifice, under the species of bread and wine.
It is far too easy to raise the self, as selfishness is a part of the
human condition. This human frailty, however, can be avoided; it need
not be nurtured. The opposite of the elevation of the self may be found
in humility, which is nurtured through works of faith, hope and charity.
It is charity, with the overriding sense of humility, that can
obliterate this false elevation, and turn the soul firmly to Christ.
Acts of humility and charity go together, as true acts of charity must
be done humbly. To act charitably “in front of a live, studio audience,”
is not a true act of charity. It lacks humility, and is done for an
effect, to bolster one's pride and elevate oneself.
An act of charity and humility does not often receive the praise and
adulation of others. It goes unnoticed, unrecognized by the eyes of man,
but not by the eyes of God. Our Lord see all our acts of charity, and
repays them above and beyond anything we deserve.
To counteract the vice of selfishness, the acts of humility and charity
must be daily practiced. Prayers and sacrifice are two examples of
charitable acts, ones that should be part of the daily routine. With
practice, these two methods should create the right atmosphere within
the soul for greater works for Christ.
Above all, charity. Put the love of God before the love of the self, and all will work unto good.
