Want Joy? Find Humility

Picture
There is no joy like that known by the truly poor in spirit. 
-St. Therese

poor in spirit = rich in humility.  But what is humility? Doesn't that mean being pushed around, over looked and taken for granted? Not according to St. Therese, or another great saint - St. Vincent de Paul. St. Vincent says that Humility means 2 things: being teachable and approachable.

It is recognizing the truth of our situation, and being open and willing to learn, change and grow; to move beyond being passive, passive aggressive, or depressed and dejected. We dwell in those houses because pride keeps us locked inside. Humility, and its sister, gratitude, are the antidote, the keys that unlock the door and open the windows.  St. Vincent de Paul called  humility the "foundation of the virtuous life."  It impossible to build without this strong foundation.
