If thou wilt be exalted in heaven, humble thyself in this world: If thou wilt reign with Me, bear the cross with Me, for none but the servants of the Cross find the way of bliss and of true light.
- Bk. III, ch. lvi.
_________________________
How meek and humble of heart Thou dost appear, my beloved Saviour, when I look upon Thee hidden under the white Host! Thou couldst not stoop lower in order to teach me humility; I, therefore, in return for Thy love will put myself in the last place and share Thy humiliations, that I may have a part with Thee (John xiii, 8) in the kingdom of Heaven.
I beg of Thee to send me a humiliation every time I try to exalt myself above others.
- Pr.
