Here is one of the best means to acquire humility; fix well in mind this

God Alone
7 May 2023
But there is another reason why God alone is the happiness of our souls, to which I wish rather to direct attention: The contemplation of Him, and nothing but it, is able fully to open and relieve the mind, to unlock, occupy, and fix our affections.
Blessed John Henry Newman

In God's Hand
5 May 2023
In the hands of God the soul must become like clay in the hands of the potter, who from it can form any sort of dish; or, if you like, the soul must become like soft wax receptive to the impression of the seal, or like a blank sheet upon which the Holy Spirit writes His divine will.
Saint Jane Frances de Chantal

On Fasting

Fasting is wonderful, because it tramples our sins like a dirty weed, while it cultivates and raises truth like a flower.

God is Within
1 May 2023
Where so ever you are, where so ever you may be praying, God who hears you is within you, hidden within, or God who hears you is not merely by your side, and you have no need to go wandering about, no need to be reaching out to God as though you would touch him with your hands.
Saint Augustine
