Chapter 7: The value of humility (paragraph 4)


The first step of humility is to cherish at all times the sense of awe with which we should turn to God. (From para. 4 of Ch. 7 of Saint  Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

It seems to me that St. Benedict aligns humility with seeing reality, which must be a state of continuous selfless prayer.
