On page 2 humility is best described as that network of attitudes that spring from a radical conversion of heart, and signals a deep and inner conformity with Christ. Growth in humility is powered by the simple desire to become like Christ.

It is important for the christian to discover Christ, discover humility, and in doing so, we go on to discover, the self deep within. Not wasting but investing in the life benefits that will go on for those of us who believe in the teachings of the Catholic Catecism of The Catholic Faith. We are worth more than we realize. We are Gods ultimate creation. Worthy of living life immitating Benedictine teachings on humility.
