“In humility there is mirrored the central mystery of the process of our transformation –the mystery that our Lord has put into these words: ‘Unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, itself remaineth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit’.”

                          -Dietrich von Hildebrand

For Reflection:

What “fruit” have some of my “dying” moments brought forth? To what extent did I see transformation in my life or in the life of others because of it? How does this give me the strength to persevere now and in the future?
