John Chrysostom: humility

Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796
Meditation:
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
—Romans 12:3 (NIV)

Quotation:
Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.
... St. John Chrysostom (345?-407) (see the book)
See also Rom. 12:3; Pr. 16:18-19; 26:12; Mic. 6:8; 2 Cor. 12:7-9; Gal. 6:3; Phil. 2:3-4; Jas. 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:5

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, my pride is the enemy of the humility that is Your desire for me.
