On Humility (from my journal)

Posted by Jess Austin Michalik, 3/20/05 at 2:00:14 PM.

Humility is the essence of prayer.  Visions, voices and ecstasies are nothing, if they fail to carry with them the humility that is our only hope and safety.

 

When we dream that we are special, we are damned.

Pride is the high.

Despair is the low.

What honors are these that we wear on our sleeves? 

To be humble is to have no position

No station

No opinion of ourselves

 

In prayer the high and the low

Become meaningless

We are nowhere.

We are both God and dust

Worms and wind.
