THE VIRTUE OF HUMILITY: REFLECTIONS BY MARIA CASSIA

HUMILITY --- A VIRTUE THAT IS QUITE RARE
BUT IF ONE POSSESS IT, WONDERS WILL HAPPEN.
WHEN ONE HAS IT, WISDOM FOLLOWS.

PRIDE! THIS IS THE VICE THAT LED TO THE
FALL OF MAN; THE PRIDE OF THE SERPENT
THAT ENTICES OUR FIRST PARENTS.

YES! PRIDE IS ONE OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS
THAT LEADS TO THE ABBYS. IT IS TIME TO
REFLECT ON OURSELVES. IS PRIDE HOLDING US
TO FORGIVE OTHERS? IS PRIDE RULING MANY
FACETS OF OUR LIFE.

IF IT IS, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE. LET US REPENT
WITH A CONTRITE HEART. THE LORD IS ALWAYS
READY TO FORGIVE US. THE MERCY OF GOD IS
UNFATHOMABLE AND BEYOND UNDERSTANDING
ON THE HEAVENS and on THE EARTH.
