"...pride is to be feared even when we do right actions, lest those things which are done in a praiseworthy manner be spoiled by the desire for praise itself."

I sought wisdom from Augustine.  First, from Augustine’s book, On the Happy Life, published in 386 AD.  And, then from his letter 118, written in 410 AD.

Reflection questions:

• How often are we confronted with the mountain of pride in how we carry out your fund development work?

• How can we lead with humility in our generosity?

These works have entered the public domain.
