There are some great nuggets of truth about humility sprinkled throughout this episode that you don’t want to miss. For instance: Pride is the opposite of humility and it manifests itself in the ways we stop living in humility. Also, true humility is accepting things we would rather change; accepting them with patient resignation. Mary, Queen of the universe, swept the floors and cleaned the table. Wow! What an example Mother Mary is for all of us, yet again. Fr. Anthony and Natalia share personal examples of times they have lived out the virtue of humility (and didn’t), as well as, practical examples on how to try to be more humble.
