A bela reflexão sobre a humildade!

Aqui está uma tradução para o inglês:

"The proud person trusts in themselves and assumes too much of their own powers; they almost don't think to ask for divine assistance.
On the other hand, the humble person puts all their trust in God, because they distrust themselves.

Hope, in turn, makes us more humble, because it shows us that heavenly goods are so far above our abilities that without the omnipotent aid of grace, we could not attain them."
