“If I love Jesus, I ought to resemble Him. If I love Jesus, I ought to love what He loves, what He prefers to all else: humility.”
-St. Peter Julian Eymard
For Reflection:
How does Jesus show us that He prefers humility to all else? Does my desire for humility reflect my love of Jesus?
PRIDE pg 260
St John Vianney presents another helpful image: “Humility is like a pair of scales; the lower one side falls, the higher rises the other. Let us humble ourselves like the Blessed Virgin, and we shall be exalted.”
