It is God who works in us both to will and accomplish.

Wednesday, 11/7/18

In the first reading Paul showed particular
 love for the people of Phillpi, who among his
host peoples insisted on feeding and  caring for
him.

He urged them not to take full credit for their
 kindness. We too cannot take to ourselves credit
for our kind acts. He said, "It is God who works
in us both to will and accomplish."
