How To Stop Being Petty

Fr. Mark-Mary offers three ways to help us stop being petty:

1. Make a firm resolve to not be a petty person.
2. Pray the serenity prayer. Do what you can, accept what you can’t.
3. Put things into perspective. Remember Christ’s passion.

He warns us that pettiness is like a seed that grows in us. Everyday habits of the ones we love can begin to negatively affect our relationship with them if we allow that seed to grow.

This may seem like a petty matter itself, but if we become too petty of a person we may become a heartbreaker. When you feel yourself getting petty over something, practice these three habits that Fr. Mark-Mary mentions to avoid this plague, and grow holier in the process.

As Fr. Mark-Mary always says, “We are pilgrims. Little by little, we will get there.” But the waiting is the hardest part.
