Humility

Humility is the ability to wait my turn to speak during a heated discussion, to be at peace when others surpass me in talents and accomplishments, realizing that all good things come from God, to listen with objectivity rather than an 'I know it all' attitude, to be content with what I am, but confident that His grace can make me better. Humility is that quality most pleasing to God because it faces truth with love and peace. The truth being in this case that everything I am and have comes from God, and I look to Him alone for a constant influx of goodness and love. - Mother M. Angelica
