Fr. Tom McCarthy joins Patrick to discuss Humility

  • (3:21) what is true humility?
  • How do we know when we are being humble?
  • (11:46) Mary - Father mentioned humility leading to God. When I look at statues of Mary, she's frequently looking down out of humility. Very few paintings where you can look into her eyes.
  • Why is Mary called blessed?
  • (18:00) Hector - Balance between humility and the amount of work you expose yourself to at a non-profit organization. Within the context of working in a non-profit...the amount of work you lend yourself to in the context of humility. should you accept it every time? How does humility guide you?

(20:46) Break 1

  • (22:26) Father shares his meeting with Pope Leo and how humility shapes hi life.
  • (26:37) Bill - Regarding how pride is opposite of humility, but I've read that self-loathing is a sin against humility.
  • Linda - Found something that's helped...Litany of Humility. Been praying it for years. I get a kick out of how it works.
  • Emil from a listener who was told to be humble in order to love her husband.

(36:56) Break 2

  • Email from Mary about choosing God’s will when it is different from your will?
  • how can we use failure in our life to grow in humility?
  • Email – How can I know if I am being humble or just being afraid of stepping out?
  • Christine - Married 40 years, this past year, discovered indiscretions with my husband. Working on forgiving. Had an argument, he reminded me of things I had done that hurt him. I was completely humbled that I could hurt him the same way. Took it to confession and turned it around.
