HUMILITY
31 December 1937
More and more I realise that the most practical virtue for peace in community life is humility.
Humility before God helps us towards trust, for humility is knowledge of oneself; and he who knows himself, can he hope for anything from himself? He would be insane if he did not expect everything from God.
Humility brings peace into our relationships; with it there are no arguments, no envy, no offence possible; …. who can offend nothingness itself?
I lovingly ask Mary to teach me what she mastered:…. humility before God and before man.
