One of the most fundamental virtues is humility. Many of the saints, among them St Augustine and St John Vianney, stress how important it is. In this meditation, we use texts of  Sacred Scripture, St Augustine, St John Vianney and St Josemaria to consider how:

• Humility is the foundation of the other virtues
• Our Lady is a great example of humility
• Humility centers our attention on God and others, not on ourselves
• God loves a humble person and rejects the proud
• We all have pride, in different ways
• By praying about it, we are helped to identify our particular manifestations of pride so that we can struggle against them
