Builder, King and Cross

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:26 pm By Father Pablo Migone

What does sitting down to calculate how much money is needed to build a tower have to do with renouncing possessions and following Jesus? What does a king knowing how many men he needs to defeat his enemy have to do with carrying the cross?

Learn from me, for I am humble of heart

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 6:26 pm By Father Pablo Migone

Humility is a word that gets tossed around quite a bit in everyday talk. A person may be described as humble, but so may someone’s house. “Oh, he lives in a small, simple, humble house without much in it.” When people are quiet and reserved, they may be described as humble even though we know nothing about their thought. We oftentimes call humble also those who have accomplished great things but don’t boast about it. “She’s so humble, you would... Read more
