"One who claims to abide in Christ ought to walk as He walked. Would you 
follow Christ? Then be humble as He was humble. Do not scorn His lowliness 
if you want to reach His exaltation. Human sin made the road rough. 
Christ's resurrection leveled it. By passing over it Himself He transformed 
the narrowest of tracks into a royal highway. Two feet are needed to run 
along this highway; they are humility and charity. Everyone wants to get to 
the top -- well, the first step to take is humility. Why take strides that 
are too big for you -- do you want to fall instead of going up? Begin with 
the first step, humility, and you will already be climbing."

 St. Caesarius of Arles. -----------------------------------------------

"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar 
in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish 
in the courts of our God."  
Psalm 92:12-13

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
