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. It should drive forgetfulness away... (From para. 4 of Ch. 7 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

The first step of humility, it seems to me, is nothing less than continuous prayer! "To cherish at all times the sense of awe with which [I] should turn to God" is what the practice of meditation teaches me, little by little, day after day, for a lifetime.
