In our age of pride in affluence, no message is more needful than this: "Humility is the only soil in which the graces root. Pride must die in you, or nothing of Heaven can live in you. Look not at pride only as an unbecoming attitude, nor at humility only as a decent virtue: for the one is death, and the other is life; the one is all Hell, the other is all Heaven."
