SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS -- 55

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HUMILITY

+ Humility is an attitude of honesty with God, oneself, and of all reality. It enables us to be at peace in the presence of our powerlessness and to rest in the forgetfulness of self.

 -- Thomas Keating in The Sun and the Moon over Assisi by Gerard Thomas Straub excerpted from  http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/quotes/features/view/27978/quotations-on-humility

+ We are all humbled by events from time to time and that’s a good thing, isn’t it? But as we practice humility, we can go deeper and deeper and find an amazing intimacy with God and all creation.  This is bliss. This is peace.  This is heavenly.  

This practice moves us into presence.  For plenty of wisdom on the practice of presence, I invite you to explore the Spirituality and Practice practice of Being Present and, also, to ponder the illuminating reflections of Joseph Naft on Presence.

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