Contemplation (verse 8)
Tell me, you who envy others: Why do you envy your brother? Is it because of the earthly blessings he has got? Are they not from the Lord? It is thus obvious that, by your envy, you make God the object of your animosity’; as He is actually the Grantor of that gift. Can you see now the extent of the evil you are committing, and how you are gathering for yourself a crown of sins?!
+ St John Chrysostom

Prayer
Dear Lord, allow us to overcome any jealousy in our hearts. Help us to understand that our blessings, while different for each person, is custom made from You for a bigger purpose that we do not understand
