Virtue- Week Nine (Humility)


Week 9- Humility

Humility: A quality by which a person considering his own defects has a humble opinion of himself and willingly submits himself to God and to others for God's sake.


             Synonym: meekness                                                Antonym: arrogance


“The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it.”
-Saint Vincent de Paul



How to Practice This Virtue:
Always be accepting and thankful of God’s will, even if it is not what you had anticipated.

Use your talents and gifts to serve God and help others, not to give glory to yourself.
