Whoever exalts himself will be humbled
and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Matthew 23:12

The one sole thing, in myself,
in which I glory,
is that I see in myself,
nothing, in which I can glory.

St Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510)

Humility is not just about self-mistrust
but about the entrusting of ourselves to God.
Distrusting ourselves and our own strength
produces trust in God
and from that trust,
generosity of soul is born.

St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor of Charity

Keep your heart in peace
and let nothing trouble you,
not even your faults.
You must humble yourself
and amend them peacefully,
without being discouraged or cast down,
for God’s dwelling, is in peace.

St Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
“Visionary and Apostle of the Sacred Heart“
