Humility

An incredible post over at Ancient Christian Wisdom today.

"... There are perhaps hundreds of opportunities for such exercises in humility every day, opportunities that the Lord graciously provides us in order to grow closer to Him. Saint Macarius the Great wrote, “Christians therefore ought to strive continually, and never to pass judgment on anyone—no, not upon the harlot on the street, or upon open sinners and disorderly persons—but to regard all men with singleness of intention and purity of eye, so that it may become like a fixed law of nature to despise no one, to abhor no one, to make no distinctions between them….This is purity of heart, when you see sinners or sick people, to have compassion on them and be tenderhearted towards them.”
