Humility, that is lowliness or self-abasement, is an inward bowing down or prostrating of the heart and of the conscience before God’s transcendent worth… For to pay homage to God by every outward and inward act, this is the first and dearest work of humility, the most savory among those of charity, and most meet among those of righteousness.
–Blessed John Ruysbroeck (1293-1381)
