“Self-knowledge is at the root of all real growth in holiness…Humility is the heart and soul of virtue. It is humility that gives power and efficacy to all we do for God.”

For Reflection:             

True humility is in knowing who we are, with all of our strengths and weakness, and who God is, in His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. How do we see Mary’s humility both in the words she speaks at the annunciation and through her Magnificat? Think of three instances in Sacred Scripture where she displays it in her actions. I will ask the Holy Spirit to help me identify my strengths and weaknesses that I might grow in self-knowledge and, thus, Humility.
