A Quote for the Day

A person can only become a true leader after he has become first a true follower. Those who hold leadership roles skipping this path of character growth would later on become the "leaders" most people despise for graft and corruption, and various crimes of action and ethics, that only bring more evil to this world instead of the good.

Only the heart that is pure and free of attachment to the glories and materials of this world can have the eyes to see beyond the trappings of this world. Grace clears the eyes of the person whose heart is prepared to receive grace. That is why even the most intelligent persons will not see the errors of their ways, having been blinded by pride and selfishness. Only the humble heart sees what no one else can see.

The truly humble people are those who can sincerely say that there's nothing they have done on their own but only with God; and there is nothing they can ever do without Him. Beyond these echo the Serpent's deceiving lie.

A truly good life is lived in humility that springs from wisdom.

All that we have and do not have, and all that we will ever have, are gifts. There is nothing in them to brag about.

Humility is knowing very well what we can and cannot do, without closing the possibility that with God's specific graces something more can be achieved. But all these shall be according to His Holy Will.
