Our Humiliations

This week we have the feasts of St. Helen and St. Bernard who entered religious life with thirty relatives and friends who accompanied him. This is the Sunday of Humility when we remember where we came from so we do not fall. St. Paul reminds Corinthians of their stupidity in worshiping rocks and how grace helped them. We were called to a supernatural destiny from the beginning but Adam destroyed that for us. Now we must overcome the inherited pride by the essential virtue of humility because unless we become like little children we shall not enter into heaven.
