We all admire humility when we see it. But how do we practice it? So how exactly does humility - the foundational virtue of the standard Religious life - turn into a normal part of our daily lives? Jerry Bridges considers in the Beatitudes a series of blessings from Jesus, a structure for humility in action. You start with poverty in spirit - an acknowledgment that in and of ourselves we are incapable of living holy lives satisfying to God - and proceeding through our mourning over personal sin, our hunger and thirst for righteousness, our experience of persecutions large and small, and much more, we find that humility is itself a blessing: At every turn, God is present to us, presenting grace to the humble and raising us up to blessing.
