Humility is the mother of many virtues. From it spring obedience, holy fear, reverence, patience, modesty, mildness, and peace; for, whoever is humble easily obeys all, fears to offend any, maintains peace with all, shows himself affable to all, is submissive to all, does not offend or displease any, and does not feel the insults which may ensue - St. Thomas of Villanova.

Loving God and Father, help us to stand firm in You and always keep our eyes and hearts on You like St. Boniface of Lausanne. May we serve You faithfully no matter what trials we face and grow in loving You as we draw others to Your service. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
