Learn of Me for I am Meek and Humble of Heart

Ave Maria Meditations

Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and humble in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Mt. 11: 28-30)

To become more humble, we have to be ready to accept the humiliation of finding victory elusive in our struggle to conquer our defects, and of being reminded of our weaknesses day by day. Often when we examine our conscience, especially on those occasions when we can do it more thoroughly, we can ask questions like these:

Have I managed to offer Our Lord in expiation the very sorrow I feel for having offended Him so many times? Have I offered Him the shame of all my inner embarrassment and humiliation at seeing how little progress I make along the path of virtue?

Then there are the humiliations inflicted on us by others – the ones we were not expecting or the ones that seem unfair or downright unjust. Do we bear these well I for Our Lord’s sake?

If we are very sincere with ourselves we shall ask Our Lord to stop us finding excuses to explain away our sins and failings, those things that humiliate us and for which we sometimes have to ask other people’s forgiveness. All of this is done with God’s help and with the help of spiritual direction, which is only another way of coming into contact with Him. Fixing our gaze on Christ, we can have enough humility to admit our mistakes and set about putting them right.

We learn all about this virtue by studying the life of Our Lady. God has done great things for her –because He has looked graciously upon the lowliness of His handmaid … I am more convinced every day that authentic humility is the supernatural basis for all virtues! Talk to Our Lady, so that she may train us to walk along that path.

Sep 03 – Homily – Fr Ignatius: Meek and Humble of Heart

apostolate — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:54:10 +0000

Homily #100903 ( 05min) Play – Today Fr. Ignatius celebrates a votive Mass in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He bases his homily on a reading different from those from the Mass where our Lord describes his Heart as meek and humble. Taking up this yoke of meekness and humility is easy and sweet and is much easier to bear than the yoke of pride and anger that so many choose.

As Our Lord says in Mat 15:28-29:

28 Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you. 29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: And you shall find rest to your souls. 30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

1st: eph 3:8-19
Gsp: joh 19:31-37

Dec 31 – Homily – Fr Angelo: Sitting at the Feet of the One Teacher

apostolate — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:18:39 +0000

Homily #111231 ( 17min) Play – On this 7th day of the Octave of Christmas Fr. Angelo, based on the Prologue of St. John, preaches on the teaching authority of Jesus Christ who was born as a meek and humble babe from the Virgin Mary who died an ignominious death on the Cross for the sake of those who offended His Divine dignity. Following his example we need to be meek and humble at the feet of Christ and at the feet of His duly appointed Magisterium.
