The Humility Befitting the Brothers
"In the love which God is (1 Jn 4:16) I beseech all my brothers--speakers, workers, whether clerics or laics: Seek to humble yourselves in all things, and do not glory in yourselves or rejoice inwardly, or exalt yourselves for the good words and works or, indeed, of any good which God sometimes says or does nor works in you or through you." --St. Francis, Rule of 1221, Chapter XVII
Humility is the absolute necessity to have a relationship with God. Without it, you are left to your own devices, which may fill you for a time but will soon run dry.
