Ascending the Heights

Developing Humility

Step 25

Humility is a grace in the soul

I am gentle and meek of heart (Matt. 11:29)

Humility is a virtue won through struggle

A struggle for God, against oneself, the world and the devil.

Greatest hindrance- stubborn pride of our own heart

1st step recognizing how proud we truly are!

Know your heart- warm when we are praised and becomes cold andcalculating when we are criticized.

Humility expressed itself in different ways.

Uniqueness of my own soul to God means that humility is going to be

different for me than it is for anyone else.

Repentance lifts a man up. Mourning knocks at heavens gates. Holy humility

opens it.

Humility is entrance to heaven, love of prayer, guardian of all other virtues.
