One who claims to abide in Christ ought to walk as he walked. Would you
follow Christ? Then be humble as he was humble. Do not scorn his lowliness if
you want to reach his exaltation. Human sin made the road rough. Christ’s
resurrection leveled it. By passing over it himself he transformed the
narrowest of tracks into a royal highway way Two feet are needed to run along
this highway; they are humility and charity. Everyone wants to get to the top -
well, the first step to take is humility. Why take strides that are too big for
you-do you want to fall instead of going up? Begin with the first step,
humility, and you will already be climbing.
Saint Caesarius of Arles
