Everyone that exalteth himself

Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 21
"Everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself will be exalted."
-Galatians 2:20
Today's Reflection:
In my own life, what instances can I recall where I was toppled by my own pride? What instances can I recall when I was "exalted" when I least expected it? How can I use these experiences to grow in humility?

Posted on Friday, August 20, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 20
"I knew nothing; I was nothing. For this reason, God picked me out."
-St. Catherine Laboure
Today's Reflection:
Read 1 Corinthians 1:28- 29. How do St. Catherine's words reflect this passage from Scripture? How have I seen this to be true in my own life?

It is by humility

Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 18
"It is by humility that the Lord allows Himself to be conquered so that He will do all we ask of Him."
-St. Teresa of Avila
Today's Reflection:
Do I allow myself to be conquered by humility so that I can do all the Lord asks of me? What evidence do I have of this in my life?

Do you wish to rise

Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 17
"Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels."
-St. Augustine
Today's Reflection:
What opportunities has the Lord given me in the last week to lay the "foundation of humility" in my life? Did I see these opportunities as such when they were given me? Can I cooperate with grace to see them as such now?

What will be the crown

Posted on Monday, August 16, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 16
"What will be the crown of those who, humble within and humiliated without, have imitated the humility of our Savior in all its fullness!
-St. Bernadette
Today's Reflection:
In this quote, St. Bernadette reveals to us the way in which humility comes "packaged." What is it? What is the connection between it and becoming "humble within?"

If I love Jesus

Posted on Sunday, August 15, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 15

-St. Peter Julian Eymard
Today's Reflection:
How does Jesus show us that He prefers humility to all else? Does my desire for humility reflect my love of Jesus?

You're not humbled

Posted on Saturday, August 14, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 14
"You're not humbled when you humble yourself, but when you are humbled by others and you bear it for Christ."
-St. Josemaria Escriva
Today's Reflection:
Is God currently offering me an opportunity to grow in humility through others? What does St. Josemaria Escriva recommend so that I might mine the grace being offered me?

Despised by others

Posted on Friday, August 13, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 13
"The day you see yourself as you are, you will think it natural
to be despised by others."
-St. Josemaria Escriva
Today's Reflection:
To what extent do I see myself as I am - not embellishing my weaknesses nor excusing them either. How would both of these extremes be a false humility?

Use great caution

Posted on Thursday, August 12, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

August 12
 "You ought to use great caution, even in doing good things. For it may be that, in carrying out some good works, you are seeking only the favor and good graces of men: or the desire of praise may overtake you, and what is done for outward effect, fail of its inward reward."
-Pope St. Gregory the Great
Today's Reflection:
What are two counterfeits of humility mentioned by Pope St. Gregory the Great? To what extent have I fallen victim to them? What one strategy can I employ in the future?
