Whatever leads us to recognize our nothingness (Fr. Greg Boyle)


  Whatever leads us to recognize our nothingness hastens our falling into the arms of God.

  Humility returns the center of gravity to the center.  It addresses the ego clinging, which supplies oxygen to our suffering.  It calls for a light grasp.  For the opposite of clinging is not letting go but cherishing.  This is the goal of the practice of humility.  That having a light grasp on life prepares the way for cherishing what is right in front of us.
