Spiritual Reading

Humility: Thirty Short Meditations

Richard F. Clarke, S.J.

Preface

The following pages are based in great measure on the beautiful little treatise issued by Our Holy Father Pope Leo XIII on the subject of humility. They can be read and utilized at any time but if used from the beginning of Lent, these meditations will leave the reader free to turn, during Passion Week and Holy Week, to the Sacred Passion of Jesus Christ.
