Only if we humble ourselves can we obtain the Grace of God

May 30, 2017

“The greater you are, the more humbly you should behave, and then you will find favour with the Lord.” Sirach 3:18

Humility is not an easy virtue. Our natural tendency is to grow in pride as we grow in greatness. But the Lord gives us the measure to become truly great: the more we are exalted, the more humble we should become. This requires us to grow more in the knowledge of God’s mercy towards us and in the knowledge of our nothingness. Let us work hard to grow in humility.
