Humility Of Heart

gracelinesheader

“Jesus invited us to be like Him,humility-2-know-thyself humble of heart. But what is humility of the heart? It consists in receiving humiliations from God with a submissive love, in accepting one’s state of life and one’s duties whatever they are, and in not being ashamed of one’s condition.”
                          -St. Peter Julian Eymard
For Reflection:
St. Peter Julian Eymard lists three ways we grow in humility of heart. What are they? What humiliations can I embrace today? What one aspect of my state of life or my duties do I find most difficult? How can I use this as a means of growing in humility?

If we say “yes” as Mary did, God will empower us with His Holy Spirit and we, too, will be filled with the life of Jesus Christ.  Like Mary, we will become a channel of grace through which the love of God enters into the world.  And, because the spiritual needs of our day are so great, all of heaven is holding its breath waiting for our response.
