SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS -- 51

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HUMILITY

+ Humility is not one virtue among others, but an attitude by which we stand on the ground alongside things. From this position we can be reconciled with all things and begin a truly cosmic democracy.
-- Leonardo Boff in Living the Wisdom of St. Francis by Wayne Simsic excerpted from  http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/quotes/features/view/27978/quotations-on-humility

+ What a vision Leonardo Boff offers us.  This is exciting.  Practicing humility certainly is not something to bring us down.  On the contrary, this practice lifts us up.  This is the new creation envisioned by prophets and apostles and visionaries and dreamers and activists.  It is such a joy to be a human being made of earth but also made in heaven.  We can do amazing things as we go deeper into this practice.  Wow.

Spirituality and Practice offers a wonderful 12s gallery of images and quotes on Humility.
