Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all worked at checking off a few of these things? Well, it sure had me looking into the mirror of my soul and wincing just a few times...ouch! Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, please pray for me.
Word of Warning...This list should not be applied to toddlers. They are the exception to all rules:)
Mother Teresa's Humility List:
1. Speak as little as possible about yourself.
2. Keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others.
3. Avoid curiosity.
4. Do not interfere in the affairs of others.
5. Accept small irritations with good humor.
6. Do not dwell on the faults of others.
7. Accept censures even if unmerited.

DeleteThank you for sharing that. I as well, fail with a BIG F. Have a Blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a "to do" list! It seems like one of those that should be framed and hung on the wall. I could use to read it every day.
