My Favorite Quotes on Pride, Humility and Empathy for Others

My Favorites Quotes on Pride, Humility and Empathy for Others

During my recent Sunday mass on TV I was reminded during the short homily on the importance of humility in our lives. The priest celebrant short sermon on TV discussed the differences between pride and humility.

The homily also reminded me that Macrine(RIP) and I have taught our children kindness, humility and empathy for others by our examples. Have you taught your children these traits? If you did, my congratulations. 

The following articles(link) are examples of what Macrine(RIP) and I have done to show kindness, humility and empathy for others.
