Know Thyself (ePub)

Humility is the key to all the virtues. It's the necessary foundation for growth in all the others. If we do not know ourselves-if we cannot see our flaws and strengths (but especially our flaws)-clearly, how can we grow in virtue? How can we begin to make ourselves less and God more? Indeed, in our age of social media where it's a constant race to appear the best, to put up a front, to show others a false image (and to show ourselves a false image) cultivating humility is perhaps more important now than ever. Know Thyself then is an invaluable resource for a prideful age. Adapted from Rev. Fr.
