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

For 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?
