St. Catherine of Siena says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today I come to impart to the world a teaching on humility of heart. Spiritually speaking, the heart must strive to be perfected in Holy Love; that is, the heart is Holy Love. But the interior of the heart must be humility. Humility is the substance which makes the heart beat. In other words humility moves the soul to embrace and act in Holy Love in thought, word and deed.”

“Just as Holy Love is truth itself, Holy Humility is truth, for humility allows the soul to see where he stands in the Eyes of God. In truth the soul is no more nor no less than he is in God's All-Knowing Eyes.”

“In humility there is no pretense of virtue. The humble heart does not permit himself to practice virtue to impress others. Such virtue is false. The humble-hearted can receive genuine constructive correction with ease. He is ready to accept his frailties and to correct them. He is also ready to believe in and accept God's Mercy.”

“The humble soul lives to serve others and not self – 2 Philippians 4. He, therefore, does not focus on how everything affects himself but is solicitous to others' feelings.”

“The ardent heart should pray for humility every day.”
