St Martin de Porres once said that he wishes to be as useful as a broom which was then put away when no longer needed. This can be seen as an expression of his humility. In this painting from San Esteban in Salamanca, St Martin is shown wearing the habit of a Dominican lay brother, i.e., a friar of the Order who will not be ordained. Behind him we see Dominican 'clerical brothers' in the more familiar white habits. Since Vatican II, all Dominican friars wear the same white habit.
"It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties, to know of wonder and humility"
O God, please teach all parents the loving ways of disciplining their children.
May all parents understand that children are always in the path of Spiritually growing -
Of learning how to be good and of Holy Virtues of Love.
May parents point to their children their mistakes
And what needs to be Spiritually changed in their attitudes.
May parents speak with ease and gentleness as Spiritual teachers.
May parents help children become more aware of good judgment –
Of what is ‘good’ and what is ‘bad’, of what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’.
May parents encourage children to choose what is ‘good’ and what is ‘right’–
So that children may see the goodness in their Heart –
To be of Holy Virtues of Humility, Love, Justice and Forgiveness from God -
The same way as Mother Mary and Our Lord Jesus Christ.
To see the Light of Truth of what is most beneficial to the Soul, and that of others.
May all children humbly listen carefully to the advice of their parents.
For parents need to give some warnings to children who needs to be humbled.
That parents may also learn to be forbearing with patience and self-control.
For disciplinary actions of punishment shall be given by parents –
To children who disobey and show no respect for others.
That these actions are done for the many chances given by their parents.
That parents may learn to destroy what is bad, and help prevent children to partake in sin.
But even if parents may show their authority to defend the obedience for righteousness,
That they may also be patient and compassionate in their ways.
That any punishment may not be done out of pleasing one’s human weakness to be pleased –
But to defend the righteousness of God in Heaven,
With utmost Virtues of Care and Forbearance.
So that children may be aware for all the consequences of their sins -
That could hurt themselves and others.
So that children may learn the Holy Virtue of Empathy, to feel how others may feel.
So that children may yearn to be Spiritually mature with Humility and Kindness to others.
That children may humbly learn to say ‘sorry’,
As much as to forgive those who wronged them.
These that children may understand that parents could get angry and lose forbearance –
All because they Love and Care enough to help their children,
And to protect the Spirituality of their children to be humble and responsible Children of God.
And parents who were unjust in any manner also need to humbly apologize to their children.
These that children may understand –
That parents are God’s vessels of authority in fulfilling God’s commands of Righteousness.
That children may also learn to have utmost Reverence and respect to God.
For in any punishment, that children may have the fear in doing what is ‘bad’,
And learn to have the Inner Strength of self-control
From one’s weaknesses and against temptations -
But be pure in Spirit to do what is Good and to defend what is right.
That parents may still need to honor the good deeds of their children despite of any action.
For loving parents are truly an encouraging and inspiring people, rather than to be feared.
These that both parents and children may be of Good Judgment for one another.
For God’s Anger is upon sin and evil works of The Evil One,
But merciful and just to us all sinners.
For God glorifies those who are just, and those who defend God’s Just Causes.
Amen.

Sir Abdul Sattar Edhi is a personification of compassion, humility and tender care. Sir Edhi was born in 1928 in Bantva in the Gujarat, British India, and after moving to the newly independent Islamic nation of Pakistan, Sir Edhi established his first welfare centre and then the Edhi Trust with a mere Rs. 5000.
What started as a one-man show operating from a single room in Karachi is now the Edhi Foundation, the largest welfare organisation in Pakistan. The foundation has over 300 centres across the country, in big cities, small towns and remote rural areas, providing medical aid, family planning and emergency assistance.They own air ambulances, providing quick access to far-flung areas.
Today not just in Pakistan, but in the Muslim world, Abdul Sattar Edhi has earned a reputation as being one of the most selfless and honorable human beings today. Despite his fame and reputation he continues to lead a simple life, he wears traditional Pakistani Shalwar Kameez, of which he only owns one or two, and he owns one pair of slippers, which he has supposedly worn for the last twenty years. This is despite the fact the Edhi Foundation has a $10 million budget.
He is also the recipient of the Lenin Peace Prize as well as the Balzan Prize. According to the Guinness World Records, Edhi Foundation has the largest private ambulance service network in the world.
Truly an angel.
As evil continues to expand in a world that rejects God and His Holy Laws, the False Prophet - 'pope' Francis I - continues to pose as a legitimately elected Pope of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church by advertising his acts of (false)humility.
But do not be deceived, for our precious Catholic Church is headed by the one and only true Holy Vicar of Jesus Christ, POPE BENEDICT XVI, even though the Argentinian self-proclaimed (impostor)Jesuit pope has managed to steal his throne.

Señor de la Pacencia / The Lord of Humility
Back View
18th Century
Soft wood and polychromy
Lower arm missing.
Attributed to the Panay School
Provenance: Collection of Dr. Porfirio J. and Mrs. Socorro Rodriguez Callo
Purchased from Likhâ Gallery in the late 1970s.
National Museum registration on back.
A small, table-top image of the Senor de la Pacencia made of soft wood with traces of original polychromy. The Christ figure is sitting on a piece of wood naturalistically painted to look like a stump complete with tree bole.
The body color has faded to a pleasing brown color. The savage wounds inflicted on Christ's back is very much evident in the deep grooves incised into the back of the Christ figure. The hair of the patient Christ is carved into thick individual strands typical of sculptures of the 18th century.
I didn't hesitate long, I was back on my feet in less than a minute climbing back up the stairs. Stairs with no rail to speak of, stairs of old wood, stairs with sizable gaps. Ha, ha, I thought to myself, the Mountain has smote me for my ignorance. I shall make a joke at the next stop and everyone shall laugh. I was not perturbed in the slightest, the loss of the stick did hurt me, but I thought to myself, if that's what it takes to appease the Mountain, fine by me.
I did not realize that the mountain was not looking for appeasement from me, but for punishment for me.
Pictured is small well/pool of collected water from a tiny mountain stream. It is blessed pure water, and also nice and cold to drink and wash in. It is also possibly an insult against the mountain to drink from it if you are unclean, but then again, since I thought the Mountain had already taken it's due, I drank from it.
Now we all need patience, forbearance, forgiveness, humility, charity, love unfeigned, devotion to the truth, abhorrence of sin and wickedness, rebellion and disobedience to the requirements of the gospel. These are the qualifications requisite to Latter-day Saints and to becoming Latter-day Saints and members in good standing in the Church of Jesus Christ and heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. No member in good standing in the Church will be drunken or riotous or profane or will take advantage of his brother or his neighbor, or will violate the principles of virtue and honor and righteousness. No member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in good standing will ever be chargeable with such offenses as these, because members will avoid these evils, and they will live above them. Then we have a mission in the world: each man, each woman, each child who has grown to understanding or to the years of accountability, ought to be an example to the world. They ought not only to be qualified to preach the truth, to bear testimony of the truth, but ought to live so that the very life they live, the very words they speak, their every action in life will be a sermon to the unwary and to the ignorant, teaching them goodness, purity, uprightness, faith in God and love for the human family.

...a long lesson in humility. (JM Barrie)
something i just laid-out, for an inspiring quotation i read somewhere.
“Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck” ~ Lord Buddha
The Way of Philosophy according to Christ
"A holy combination: love and humility"
San Massimo the Confessor
The Devil has nothing in hatred as much as the love between brothers and sisters in Christ, harmony, peace, unity and harmony.
He is always vigilant, plotting the most incredible actions, in order to break the spiritual bonds, sow hatred and antipathy, confusion and disorder, vain suspicions and anguished prejudices.
Christ immolated himself "so that the scattered children of God may be brought together as one" in peace and love, while the murderer never rests in his attempt to afflict them and scatter the children of God, who are gathered in Christ .
The following episode is very typical, and shows that it is satanic action that fosters anger, impatience and the breakdown of the bonds of love and peace with our brother:
“A certain brother, moved outraged against another, began to pray, begging [that the Lord help him] to bear his brother, going unharmed through temptation; and immediately he saw smoke coming out of his mouth. At which, his anger ceased. "
* * *
Now, how is it possible to avoid all the pitfalls of the torment-loving enemy? What is the safe antidote?
The Holy Fathers teach us that only with love and humility can we be protected and liberated.
The holy combination of love and humility elevates us spiritually above the pitfalls of evil spirits, and above all above meanness and misunderstandings, which, for the most part, arise from our self-love.
In the same way, this holy combination in the Grace of God, which gives us a peaceful, humble, merciful heart, ready to forgive and tolerant.
"A holy combination is love and humility," says St. John Climacus; "One in fact exalts, and the other, giving strength to those who are exalted, does not allow them to fall."
To be precise, we need to find patience and courage in the hour
of temptation; it is necessary to be long-suffering in prayer before the pains and have a heart ready to forgive those who have grieved us. We try not to be overcome by hatred, but rather to overcome it with love.
A pain is nothing but a cloud that will soon melt ... let's not get away from brotherly love ... Let us be long-suffering and pray ... We blame ourselves ... We humbly accept the apologies of our brother ... We remember his kindness and virtues and not let's move it away from our heart ...

O God, thank You for blessing us with our mother...when we were a child that suckled on our mother's breasts...that we may be nurtured with breastmilk...but more importantly we have been dependent for our mother's warmth and affection...and Spiritually we still depend on women, especially all of our mothers...that we may be Spiritually nourished with Holy Virtues of Humility, Love, Peace and Justice...for the Spiritual Health of Humanity...
beautiful are all families...in humility who rather pour one's love...in affection and care for one another...

Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It's thinking of yourself less.

Nothing says “I love you” like red roses. Red symbolizes love, beauty, courage, respect, romantic love, and even congratulations. While many send red roses on Valentine's Day, surprise your Valentine this year with white roses that symbolize true love, purity, innocence, reverence, humility, youthfulness, and charm.
This is Grayson Perry's custom built Kenilworth AM1 motorbike, on which he made his pigrimage to Germany with his teddy bear, Alan Measels, riding in the portable shrine on the back. The other side of the fuel tank says "Patience".
Interesting New Scientist focus this week. Self-promotion comes naturally to narcissists. It leads with an image of George W Bush thumbs up.
Emma Young: HUMILITY. Empathy. Selflessness. These are qualities most of us associate with being a “nice person”. But being nice doesn’t often help you in the fierce competition to get that job, win a project or secure a promotion. No one likes an egocentric big-head but if, as they say, “you are your own brand”, perhaps in this modern world it pays to be a bit narcissistic."
Again my mind leaps to the incomprehensible success of Trump over the past 6 months. Many people appear to be enthralled by him. I'm afraid it doesn't work in any measure for me. Maybe that's because I too am narcissist! Always worth asking ourselves but it doesn't mean we want to take on the mantel of that other sick sense.. that of self-loathing! What else but mutual need must bring about prevailing unease in every walk of life we know as celebrity culture? What may work in football or music clearly doesn't feel right in politics. Politicians of all persuasions need their sheep.
Fresh report. 2nd Tesla car crash being investigated. Tesla is the autonomous car that has an autodrive setting... a driver-less setting!
