Weekly Reflections

It’s that time of year: Christmas has come and gone, and we look forward to a brand-new year.

Because of original sin, human beings are not capable of perfectly carrying out God’s will.

In last week’s reflection, we stated that part of God’s ability to be humble lies in the knowledge He has of human nature.

“God’s humility” might seem a bit odd. If humility means knowing ourselves as God knows us, how can God be humble?
