The most dangerous PRIDE
comes as a gentle word and soothing advice
when HUMILITY shouts a warning in the streets
in the midst of battle
and is not heard,
or even worse, ignored and dismissed
as spiritual immaturity.

There are three things too wonderful for me,
Four that I do not understand.
A child made in the image of it´s Father,
A cross in a garbage dump outside the Holy City,
A journey from arrogance to shame
and the grace that transforms it into love.

There is no greater embarrassment
in heaven or on earth
than the arrogance of those
who ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Sadly, this applies to all of us.
