Being humble is definitely not in vogue these days! In fact, quite the opposite is true as celebrities, athletes, and politicians all seem determined to toot their own horns as loudly as possible. Unfortunately, humility too often gets bad press in our contemporary culture, which tends to view it as a belittling of oneself. Humility, however, is “not thinking less of yourself, but thinking about yourself less.” (C.S. Lewis) Humility is simply seeing ourselves as we really are and, as a result, being able to see others and God as they truly are. Humility is not a denial of our self-worth but an affirmation of the inherent worth and dignity of all people and a recognition of our place in that community of people. In this episode of Pop-Up Catechesis, we explore practicing humility.
