The Mentors in My Life

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

— Proverbs 27:17

Father,

I think of those who have been my mentors, my guides. These people who believed in me, who advised me, who shared their wisdom and experience.

Thank You for these precious mentors. For their patience with my mistakes, for their confidence in my potential, for the example they set. They shaped who I am.

Help me honor their legacy by becoming in turn a mentor to others. To pass on what I received, to guide those who come after me.

Amen.

Reflection

Who has been an important mentor in your life? For whom could you be a mentor?

For all mentors and for those seeking one.
