Benedictine Prayer suggestion 1...

Read  

Matthew 10:37-42

Meditate 

Where have I sought only myself in my work, in my family, in my recreation, in my leisure time, in my Church work? 
Can I think of some instances in my life where the seeking of self has brought ruin upon whatever I was doing? 
Can I think of an instance where I have sacrificed myself for the sake of God or others? 
What happened as a result?

Pray  

Pray for the grace to put oneself last and God and others first.

Contemplate  

Be open to any insights about the value of self-sacrifice.
