Humility

Mother Teresa had this to say. . .
"Let us beg to have our hearts ‘meek and humble’ like Jesus.
We learn humility through accepting humiliations cheerfully.
Do not let a chance pass you by.
It is so easy to be proud, harsh, moody and selfish,
but we have been created for greater things.
Why stoop down to things that will spoil the beauty of our hearts?"
Then today she said,
“Humility always radiates the greatness and glory of God.
Through humility we grow in love.
Humility is the beginning of sanctity.”
Spirit, guard my heart against pride and selfishness.
Let me hold loosely all that you have given and entrusted to my care.
Help me discern your voice and guard
the fragile beauty that has begun to grow within my heart.
