   "One who claims to abide in Christ ought to walk as He walked. Would you   
   follow Christ? Then be humble as He was humble. Do not scorn His lowliness   
   if you want to reach His exaltation. Human sin made the road rough.   
   Christ's resurrection leveled it. By passing over it Himself He transformed   
   the narrowest of tracks into a royal highway. Two feet are needed to run   
   along this highway; they are humility and charity. Everyone wants to get to   
   the top -- well, the first step to take is humility. Why take strides that   
   are too big for you -- do you want to fall instead of going up? Begin with   
   the first step, humility, and you will already be climbing."   
      
   St. Caesarius of Arles.   
      
   "The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar   
   in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish   
   in the courts of our God."  Psalm 92:12-13   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
