Thought of the Day October 7, 2024 Humility and charity

By 9:59 AM

 

“Particularly I admire two virtues rare in our days:  a profound humility and immense charity.” St. Anne Thérèse Guérin  (1798-1856)

 

Without humility our charity may be ostentatious and self-serving. Without love our humility may be superficial. The two go hand and hand and support one another. The charity I am called to show is enabled by the grace of God and not out of my worth. The truth of humility flows from the reality that I am like a donkey going where Jesus leads, doing what he indicates. The one who sees and judges my humility and my charity is God. It is for him that I embrace humility and I show charity.
