Thomistic Prayer suggestion 1...
Read Mark 15: 10 or Acts 13:48.
Consider the fault of envy.
Reflect upon its meaning.
St. Thomas defines envy as the evil sadness one feels at the success of a rival or
peer.
Have you ever felt envy?
When?
Why?
What did you do about it?
Have you ever suffered as a result of the envy of someone else?
What did you do about it?
How was envy the cause of the death of Jesus?
Why do people experience envy?
Why are envious people often unaware of their envy?
How might you discover whether you still harbour secret envy towards others?
What might you do to avoid being envious of others?
How is love the opposite of envy?
End the period of prayer with fervent petitions to God asking Him to help you
discover your secret envy and to help you overcome it.
