Humility

“Whenever we see within us malice, envy, criticism, grumbling, and whatever else is of the devil, we should realize that we do not have a pure heart. If we had a pure heart we would not be offended even if people insulted and derided us. The fact that we are offended, bothered, and embittered, shows that our heart is not pure. We lack humble mindedness; humble mindedness makes a person tolerant, forbearing and patient. When we do not have patience, when we do not have forbearance, when we are not tolerant, when we do not enter patiently, this is characteristic of a lack of the most fundamental virtues humble mindedness and love which takes us closer to the goal, which is purity.”
