Without Humility Pride Will Win
rasp the truth
of God by using the way he himself provides, since he sees the weakness
of our footsteps. That way consists first, of humility, second, of humility,
and third, of humility.
Unless humility precede, accompany, and follow up all the good we accomplish, unless we keep our eyes fixed on it, pride will snatch everything right out of our hands.
-- Letter 118, 22
Prayer. I acknowledge you, O Lord, in your humility, that I may not fear you in your glory. I embrace you in your lowliness, that I may yearn for you in your loftiness, for to those who desire you, you come with clemency.
-- Psalm 66, 10
