Humility Gives No Traction to Evil

Rick Becker has a wonderful article in the NCRegister about Bishop Bonaventure F. Broderick who served 30 years pumping gas until he was “accorded all honors that befitted his episcopal rank” by Cardinal Spellman. It is reminder to all men, that God may place us on a path, be it lowly or highly, it is to his glory. And, the only true way we can preserve the Christ-light within is to remain humble. Humility gives the devil no traction to tempt us with the world’s adulation.

Let us be like little slippery fish when it comes to pride. Cover yourselves in humility.
