They drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the best oils; yet they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph!" Amos 6:1-7.

"A person’s pride will bring humiliation, but one with humility will obtain honor." - Proverbs 29:23
Saint Theresa of Avila explained that the virtue of humility "is living in the truth of who you are." The truth that we are beloved sons and daughters of the Father. The truth that we cannot do it on our own. The truth that we have unique gifts that we are called to develop and share with others. The truth that we have weaknesses which if left unchecked can quickly turn into vices.
How do we grow in the virtue of humility? Watch this short video about growing in the virtue of humility and why habitually seeking what is good, beautiful and true helps us grow in happiness and holiness.
