“You’re not humbled when you humble yourself, but when you are humbled by others and you bear it for Christ.”
-St. Josemaria Escriva
For 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?
PRIDE pg 259
St. Vincent de Paul states that if we lack humility, all our other virtues will eventually wither away. St John Vianney expresses the same idea: “Humility is to the various virtues what the chain is to the Rosary; take away the chain and the beads are scattered, remove humility and all virtues vanish.”
