"In humility there is mirrored the central
mystery of the process of our transformation - the mystery that our Lord has put into these words: 'Unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, itself remaineth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
-Dietrich von Hildebrand
For Reflection:
What "fruit" have some of my "dying" moments brought forth? To what extent did I see transformation in my life or in the life of others because of it? How does this give me the strength to persevere now and in the future?
Failure pg 108
According to St. Paul of the Cross, "The works of God always meet with opposition so that the Divine Magnificence may shine forth. It is when things appear to be crashing to the ground that you will see them even more be raised on high."
