Humility

"Basically humility is the attitude of one who stands constantly under the judgement of God. It is the attitude of one who is like soil. Humility comes from the latin word humus, fertile ground. The fertile ground is there, unnoticed, taken for granted, always there to be trodded upon. It is silent, inconspicuous, dark and yet it is always ready to receive any seed, ready to give it substance and life. The more slowly, the more fruitful, because it becomes really fertile when it accepts all the refuse of the earth. It is so low that nothing can soil it, abase it, humiliate it; it has accepted the last place and cannot go any lower. In that position nothing can shatter the soul's serenity, its peace and joy."
- from Living Prayer

"Ad maiorem Dei gloriam."
A.M.D.G.
"For the greater glory of God."

"We do find, it is true, great battles to fight, and great hardships to master; but that good Mother makes herself so present and near to her faithful servants, to enlighten them in their darknesses and their doubts, to strengthen them in their fears, and to sustain them in their struggles and difficulties, that in truth this virginal path to find Jesus Christ is a path of roses and honey compared with the other paths. There have been some saints, but they have been small in numbers, who have walked upon this sweet path to go to Jesus, because the Holy Ghost, faithful Spouse of Mary, by a singular grace disclosed it to them."
