The proud person is like a grain of wheat thrown into water: it swells, it gets big. Expose that grain to the fire: it dries up, it burns. The humble soul is like a grain of wheat thrown into the earth: it descends, it hides itself, it disappears, it dies; but to revive in heaven.

O Savior, I shall buy You with my tears and obedience, with humility and charity, with sacrifices and with death, with the purest love of neighbor. And when I do, I shall buy You for those who see You.

God is ready to pardon a sinner who humbles himself. He looks with more love on a soul who returns to Him in Humility, than on a faithful soul who finds pleasure in its virtues.

My heart with ardent longings

Awaits my Well-Beloved

I ask of heaven and all created things

Where the Loved One dwells.

And all reply: You'll find Him

In the straight and humble heart.

Oh! Thought of Him so strong!

Oh! His looks, all Love and Mercy.
