Mt 6:1-6, 16-18

Jesus talks to the disciples not so much about what they do, though that is important, but about why they do what they do. If the motivation behind prayer, fasting and almsgiving is to impress others then it is not of God, nor is it pleasing to God.

Oh, there are times when I am tempted to “toot my own horn.” I am reminded that anything I do in your name, I do because of you.
