Avoid Pride and Grasp Wisdom
fter hearing
that they should be humble some persons do not wish to learn anything.
They think they will be proud if they have anything. It has been made clear to us where God wishes us to be in the depths and where he wishes us to be in the heights. He wishes us to be humble to avoid pride, and he wishes us to be on high to grasp wisdom.
-- Commentary on Psalm 130, 12
Prayer. While I move and bear this body I pray that I may be pure, generous, just, and prudent. May I be a perfect lover and knower of your Wisdom.
-- Soliloquies 1, 6
