Humility Challenge: Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa's Challenging Points on Humility

[characterfitness]

I get thrilled whenever I see her picture, I was in her orphanage, and I have a BIBLE & ROSARY gifted by her, I love you mamma, ,

Speak as little as possible about yourself.
Keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others.
Avoid curiosity (she is referring to wanting to know things that should not concern you.)
Do not interfere in the affairs of others.
Accept small irritations with good humor.
Do not dwell on the faults of others.
Accept censures even if unmerited.
Give in to the will of others.
Accept insults and injuries.
Accept contempt, being forgotten and disregarded.
Be courteous and delicate even when provoked by someone.
Do not seek to be admired and loved.
Do not protect yourself behind your own dignity.
Give in, in discussions, even when you are right.
Choose always the more difficult task.

I love CS Lewis’s quote. True humility is not thinking less of yourself...it is thinking of yourself less. Get out of self, become God conscious not self conscious.

[toomylight]

I think to be humble is not to think less of yourselves, but to think less about yourself 🌷

I live in Calcutta, and in this present day and age, holy people are more vulnerable to attack. So yes, she has been called names and such, but only God knows her holiness. Do read her 'Come be my Light'.

Thank you so much for this Father. Mother Theresa is an amazing and Blessed woman and I am so thankful for her life. I just purchased her book and am looking forward to working more on decreasing my pride and increasing my humility. Thank you again and God Bless to you and yours. 😊

Wee Mother Theresa spent time in Our Lady of Loreto Convent, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, Ireland. I attended the school, how humble I feel to know that I've most likely walked on the same footpath as she did. "Please God' teach me to walk in her footprints, Amen:
Mother Theresa' pray for me, Amen:
"thank-you Father for uploading this video."
May God' continue to Bless and guide you, Amen:

[Camila_and_Daniel_Gaming]

Thank you, Father. That struck a deep chord in me.

[tikitakati]

These are the type of challenges i need honestly

Powerful lessons for all of us. How many times do we we instinctively react to injustice against us in order
to protect our ego?

Prayerful silence is better than reacting in indignation.

Lets learn to choose our words judiciously. Less is more. Thank you for your wisdom, St. Theresa of Calcutta.

While living in Papua New Guinea, Mother Theresa visited our church. After mass I had such joy when she took both of my hands and held them in hers, and said God bless you my child. Luv her so dearly

CHOOSE The HARDER TASK...that resonates with me. It's very powerful. It comes back to working hard through your life. The human spirit I believe is ornately LAZY. A Fine electrical energy ( spirit) lugging around a bag of bones and tissue. You must overcome the compulsion to take the easy way out. It will advance your spiritual journey no end.
And GIVE IN TO OTHERS...this too is very difficult for most humans. You almost need to work out what it means but it's about imposing your will on others.people see it as a WEAKNESS but it's the opposite. It shows great strength of character.
What a person. Such lessons we can only hope rub off on us. Being humble, in my books, is third to LOVE and RESPECT

[LidaSanch]

By perfectly loving God these will come naturally, effortlessly. Seek to Love God above all things. With all thy heart.

These prescripts are definitely subject to the situation, such as in Luke when it says to whom much is given much is expected (abundance is expected), but we can all learn from these areas for other areas of life.

[alfiejsm]

Thank you for sharing.. I too need this

[MarkKaranjaMK]

Thank you father. Just thinking about these points is already hard enough...but thank you.

[australiainfelix]

Timely and perfect. Thank you, Father.
