God bless you.
Humility is the robe of divinity. The son and word of God, our Jesus Christ, wore this garment to come to live here on earth and interacted with people. Humility was his garment and humbleness was his life. It was through humility, that he covered both his divinity and his glory. Whoever chooses to wear this robe of humility, dresses like Christ. The humble man is loved by all. A humble man is treated and respected in a saint-like manner. Even wild beasts, do not bother or mangle the humble man. The lives of saints provide a fine example of this, and people, whoever they are, greatly honour humility. Because the Lord loves the humble man, no one hates, rebukes or condemns him. People find rest particularly amongst those that love them, and God rests among the humble. Unfortunately, people don’t love humility and they don’t wish to humble themselves. By not wishing to exercise humility, they don’t want to be loved by the Lord, and by loving pride, they become like Satan. – St Paisios
Thank you for the Wisdom !
Thank you for the awesome message, and wisdom Father!
Can someone tell me what father said at the end and what language it was?
"Some of you disregarded the fast, and that was stupid. You should repent and move on." Spoken like a loving father. Holy Orthodoxy is truly a healthy faith☦
Beautiful message Fr. Josiah. Christ is risen!
Thank you so much for this, Father! I'm so far from humble but I have a deep longing to learn and for the King who comes humbly on the foal of a donkey.
But what of humility when it gets challenged by others who slander your reputation…?
I am just a foolish mortal. I am full of sin and give into temptation everyday. My flesh is weak and my soul is guilty. Lord, through your grace, have mercy upon me. Amen
Hi Father Josiah Trenham! I would like to ask how we orthodox differ from catholics on this matter of humility. I mean is there something at the pope's doctrines or their tradition that makes people be proud of what they are and do? Thank you!
I'm not comfortable when I hear you call people stupid. It's a harsh word which is repulsive.
Thank you
Great insight on the virtue of humility. I realized I need to learn more about St John of Sinai. As a Catholic I have a deep appreciation for Orthodoxy and its saints. God bless.
