Father Sean's Weekly Message
August 31, 2025
"'Conduct your affairs with humility. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God.' Christ promises that 'the one who humbles himself will be exalted.' Why is humility an integral part of Christian righteousness? Humility keeps us mindful of the gift we have been given: to approach 'Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant.' Thus, humility is not defeatism or a false sense of worthlessness, but a recognition of our true worth in Christ. 'It is a calm, clear-sighted virtue, not to be seduced by the tempting prospect of earthly greatness at the cost of spiritual greatness. Humility gives us spiritual common sense, enabling us to see and to act towards things as they are'" (Father Walter Farrell, O.P.). (Magnificat August 2025, pg. 434)
