St. Thomas Aquinas comes. He is holding a little child's purse – one that I lost and rediscovered months later after the little girl's birthday. I had forgotten about it. He says: “Praise be to Jesus.”
“Look! This is what humility – true and sincere humility – is like. It is like a hidden treasure that the soul possesses but does not remember. He is not looking for it in his heart, but all the time it is there; but as with any virtue, it blooms when it is shared with another. The fruit of the virtue is given out to others but the virtue remains hidden in the soul's heart.”
“You gave the little purse away but the virtue of unselfish love remains in your heart.”
