What a great laudable exchange: to leave the things of time for those of eternity, to choose the things of heaven for the goods of earth, to receive the hundred-fold in place on one, and to possess a blessed and eternal life.

- St. Clare of Assisi

=========================================================

Humility of God:

The humility of God is expressed in Christ who has entered the waters of human suffering to bring every person and all creation into the unity of God’s love. Unless we stop looking for a God who will lord it over us as a superior or king, we will not know this God of humble love because he is a God who refuses to be superior to his own creatures.
