franciscanheart Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 an awesome thing.. a friend of mine who usually has nothing good to say about George Bush and the things he stands for (mainly because he is christian) said this to me today: "i actually really enjoyed Bush's speech, surprisingly a lot more than Kerry's, and i believe it was because of his humility." how awesome is that??

popestpiusx Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 When I think of humility I think of me. I mean, I have to be the most humble person I know. It's one of best traits (along with my exceptional holiness of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfroNova No Limit Soldier Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 [quote name='popestpiusx' date='Nov 5 2004, 01:55 AM']When I think of humility I think of me. I mean, I have to be the most humble person I know. It's one of best traits (along with my exceptional holiness of course). [/quote] hehehe seriously though One of my priest friends (does anyone have a better term for this?) gave a homily about humility 2 weeks ago. He said that if we ask humility, we better be ready for humiliation. Fr. Corapi (coming to Htown in 1 month!!): "Without humility there is no holiness. Without holiness there is no heaven." Ecclesiastes 1:2 "Vanity of vanities, all things are vanity!" The best example of humility in a fallen creature is St. Francis of Assisi. It was revealed to one of his friars that he is sitting at the right hand of Jesus Christ in Heaven (probably right next to Mary!). Humility = simplicity, humiliation, charity, holiness.

Theoketos Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 LITANY OF HUMILITY (accustomed to be said after celebration of Mass, by Merry Cardinal del Val, secretary of state to Pope Saint Pius X) (for private use only) O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, Hear me. From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being loved, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being extolled, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being honored, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being praised, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being preferred to others, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being consulted, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being approved, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being humiliated, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being despised, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of suffering rebukes, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being calumniated, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being forgotten, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being ridiculed, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being wronged, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being suspected, Deliver me, O Jesus. That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be esteemed more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be chosen and I set aside, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be praised and I go unnoticed, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be preferred to me in everything, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyyoimjohnny Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Bein' what you are, doin everything you can do (and doing it really well and with all the love and heart you can put into it), shining like a star and spreading love with the wink of an eye and the twitch of a finger, and then realizing it's not you, but God who is the source of all this, and giving Him the credit.
