Whoever Comes to Me Becomes Humble

I came in humility, I came to teach humility, I came as a model of humility. Whoever comes to me is incorporated in me.

Whoever comes to me becomes humble; whoever adheres to my will will be humble, for such a person does not perform his or her own will, but the will of God. And therefore he or she will not be cast out.

-- Sermon on John 25, 16

Prayer. Lord, you exist without care for your own security, but are full of concern for us.

-- Confessions 9, 3
