Humble and Small

"Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar." Psalms 138:6

"For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation." Psalms 149:4

"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." Proverbs 11:2

Lord God, Mighty Creator - Thou art all powerful, allmighty and all knowing. Give me to know today and every minute of every day of my life, that I am truly the last, the lowliest and least of all ~ May humility be my portion. Amen+

swissmiss said...: I work on humility most of all since I know that pride is most often the source of my sins. Humility is so counter-cultural it's almost hard to even grasp how prideful we are.; 5/30/2008 02:40:00 PM

St. Winifred

Also St. Gwenfrewy or Winefride, she was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, Tyfid ap Eiludd. Her suitor, Caradog, was enraged when she decided to become a nun, and decapitated her. Her head rolled downhill, and, where it stopped, a healing spring appeared. Winefride's head was subsequently rejoined to her body due to the efforts of her maternal uncle, Saint Beuno, and she was restored to life. She later became a nun and abbess at Gwytherin in Denbighshire, and Caradog, cursed by St. Beuno, melted into the ground. She died 660.
