Jesus Humility Heart

More From Thomas Merton

It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of true humility and its power in the spiritual life. for the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. it is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable. in perfect humility all selfishness disappears and your soul no longer lives for itself or in itself for god: and it is lost and submerged in him and transformed into him.
Spiritual Humility Keys
To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).
Jesus Character Mean
Jesus has to be and become ever more the center of my life. it is not enough that jesus is my teacher, my guide, my source of inspiration. it is not even enough that he is my companion on they journey, my friend and my brother. jesus must become the heart of my heart, the fire of my life, the love of my soul, the bridegroom of my spirit. he must become my only thought, my only concern, my only desire.
Teacher Brother Jesus
We humans have had from time unknown the compulsion to name things and thus to be able to deal with them. the name we give to something shapes our attitude toward it. and in ancient thought the name itself has power, so that to know someone's name is to have a certain power over him. and in some societies, as you know, there was a public name and a real or secret name, which would not be revealed to others.
Attitude Real Names
The rich people are apparently leaving america. they're giving up their citizenship. these great lovers of america who made their money in this country-when you ask them to pay their fair share of taxes they run abroad. we have 19-year old kids who lost their lives in iraq and afghanistan defending this country. they went abroad. not to escape taxes. they're working class kids who died in wars and now billionaires want to run abroad to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. what patriotism! what love of country!

If you look at the balance sheet, the us is heavily in debt. if you look at the income account - the amount of interest the us pays abroad - it is almost exactly equal to the amount of interest that it receives from abroad. american assets held abroad are earning a higher rate of return than foreign assets held here.

The value of solitude - one of its values - is, of course, that there is nothing to cushion against attacks from within, just as there is nothing to help balance at times of particular stress or depression.
