Jesus calls us to practice the virtue of humility. In a world that often celebrates self-promotion and financial or material success, humility reminds us that every gift we have—our achievements, our careers, our talents, even our very breath—comes from God. Humility leads us to rely on God and his grace and let go of pride and vanity. 

When we walk humbly, we become more compassionate, more aware of the needs of others, and more patient. Humility liberates us from our ego and helps us to forgive and to serve—especially those who may be forgotten or are struggling. Humility transforms our hearts and allows God's peace to take root within us. 

 
May you walk humbly with your God as we prepare for Christmas, finding strength and peace in his loving presence.
