A few years ago, I saw a young woman wearing a t-shirt that read, "It's not about YOU." That statement is a call to humility.
The Lord calls us to grow in humility, the virtue that helps us recognize that it's not about us--it's about others and about God. We recognize our value as children of God and only because of that relationship. We recognize that every other human being is equally valuable for also equally being a child of God. Humility keeps us in our place, from thinking too much about ourselves and not enough about others. Unless we are saints already, we can probably all use some practice in growing in humility.
The CFP Holy Angels Gift Shop offers some products to help foster this virtue.
The Litany of Humility, written by Cardinal Merry de Val, is a beautiful prayer for obtaining this virtue. The CFP Holy Angels Gift Shop offers it in larger size and wallet size.
