On humility...on humility being the healer of pain: Humility heals from within else where would we go to get it? Asking God for humility is as spitting on God's gift of humility which is waiting within us all along.
Our life flows with the humility, the spiritual, that grows within us...it is ours to choose whether we go with that flow.
In the words of St. Francis, It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
There was a time, back in the day, when I worried that I was not humble enough. Then I came to see that I would have to get humble before that could be a problem.
After which I realized there is no "humble enough." Every waking moment is a realistic chance of our being humbled...and being humbled by our own invitation. The best we can hope for is enough self-awareness to see our part in it, to take responsibility for it...that is humility aborning.
Pray for peace, then be the peace we pray for.
Thank you.
