Humility

Faith keeps you grounded, hopeful, humble; it lays a solid foundation, keeps you focused on something bigger than yourself. Because we are but a small part of something infinitely greater than ourselves.

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less."

Just look at the night sky, at all it's beauty. Think of your scale in reference to everything else. How small we are! We evolved as part of a plan - by no accident, mind you. We are here to make a difference, to make the world better. Each act puts into motion another - a ripple effect.

It's when we start looking at the world as something to serve us selfishly, as something that revolves around us that we get it all wrong. While we may only see things perfectly from our perspective, with only our experiences to guide us, we need to see that Christ resides in others just as He lives in each of us.

And that's something I continuously have to remind myself. Every. Single. Day. That's why I wear the Holy Spirit [in dove form] around my neck, as my reminder. How imperfect but beautiful we all are. 

"I'm a practicing Catholic because I haven't gotten it right yet." - Father Marv
