Angelo Comastri
PRIDE AGAINST HUMILITY
Who Is Going to Win?
Let’s put pride under our feet and we’ll immediately see
the path that leads to Bethlehem where, in the humility
of a manger, we will find God waiting for us to fill with
true peace our restless heart. In the long night
of the world the words the Angel addressed
to the shepherds always resonate:
“You will find an infant wrapped in swaddling
clothes and lying in a manger”
(Lk 2:12).
Even today the Child meets us there:
in a manger, that is, in humility!
In this new volume, Card. Angelo Comastri offers the readers
a profound reflection on the value and meaning of humility.
This virtue makes us open our hearts to God and makes us
stretch out our arms to the only Love that does not betray:
God’s love. Through the story of great women and men of
the past – Francis of Assisi, Bernadette, Paul Claudel, Giovanni
Papini, Mother Teresa among others – Comastri invites us all
to go on a path of humility.
