Road to Purity
Humility can be taken as being embarrassed by something or having to admit you were wrong. But, to me, Humility is being taught that it is much more than that. It is the offering of oneself in trials misconstrued by thoughts and opinions of others. It is keeping silent in those times when anger swells within you because of disrespect or control you just can't get a handle on. When you're trying with all of your might to do what is good and right, but when one of those arrows hits your heart, making it seem unbearable. You then offer those arrows of Humility up to the Holy foot of the Cross. You lay them there and walk away. Knowing that God is purifying each hurt and each humiliation with His tenderness and love. In Humility, we learn the sweet lesson of Surrender and Peace that were once thought of to be as big as the Giant Goliath.
Humility is letting go. That's what our Jesus did when He gave up the joys of this world to leave His Mother and Beloved friends, His Disciples and all happiness that a human heart could feel. Accepting His part of the Blessed Trinity by dying to this world to enter into a new one. The Heaven that awaits us all. He had such great Humility in His discouragement and nakedness when His Holy Passion begun. He saw it all prior to this cruel journey that He knew He had to fulfill. Only God could have done what He did. In "our" Humility, we can touch only a glimpse of what True Humility was and is.
Let this then be the Lent of Humility. In which we can rejoice in our joys to suffer for the one who suffered for us the most.
Mama, GG and friend in the most sincerest way. With hope for our future, our children and grandchildren, in they're endeavors for peace, love and charity towards each other and themselves. It's up to us grown ups, to act grown up and responsible for their teachings of God and humanity. Let's get to work!
