The visitation of God…
When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God. He is able and powerful to give you more grace and more spiritual comfort than you first had.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
One who is humbled…
Some suffer much from poverty and sickness, but are not humbled, and so they suffer without profit. But one who is humbled will be happy in all circumstances, because the Lord is his riches and joy, and all people will wonder at the beauty of his soul.
–Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)
We are truly humble…
The Lord is willing to do great things, but on condition that we are truly humble.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Humility is…
Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.
–CS Lewis (1863-1929)
Humility is the foundation…
Humility is the foundation of Sanctity. During His earthly life, Our Lord Jesus gave us ineffable examples of this virtue which all Christians may imitate. The Kingdom of Heaven, in fact, belongs to those who know how to “become little ones and choose the last place.”
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
Seek the lowest place…
God who is infinite, all powerful, has become man, the least of men. My way is always to seek the lowest place, to be as little as my master, to walk with him step by step as a faithful disciple. My way is to live with my God who lived this way all his life and who has given me such an example from his very birth.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
