frozencell Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I would just like to encourage everyone one this phorum to practice humility and compassion to the utmost of their abilities. I was just handed a smack-down of a lesson in humility by a Baptist on BaptistBoard.com. I acted in a way that was not edifying to Christ by "dancing gleefully" over a post I made on the other board. I was promptly called on this by someone from BB. I am grateful to this person for her Christian bodycheck, and have been dealt a severe amount of said humility by God through this situation. Just remember you never know who's watching that we don't know, and what kind of impression they are going to get of us. May God guide you in all of your posts.

jmjtina Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 thanks frozencell. I have been in the confessional for this one many times. St. Aloysius Bonzaga, when he was a student, if found fault with on any occasion, never tried to excuse himself. If he was wrong, he was wrong; if he was right, he would say to himself: I have often been wrong before. * Humility is to the various virtures what the chain is to the Rosary; take away the chain and the beads are scattered, remove Humility and all virtures vanish.* -- * [b]Cure d'Ars[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Speaking of humility ... I've noticed something in my life that has to be God's doing ... If I wear something that I think is cool and I hope people notice and compliment me, they never do. But if I wear it with the attitude of, "So what if people notice?" then THAT is when they notice and compliment me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 God hits me up with some humility on a daily basis. Just today I spilt almost an entire giant bulk bag of smarties on the floor at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 A thing I always found funny about humility: The truly arrogant will call themselves humble, and the truly humble will never admit that they are truly humble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 The arrogant will be arrogant about being humble, the humble will be humble about their humbleness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] frozencell, thank you for this post. we all need to be reminded when we are acting uncharitably (Catholic and nonCatholic alike). Many times we are guilty of this. We all have been (remember the "Holy Sprite" incident with Larry {Truth?}). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
