It has been said that self-love dies three days after ourselves! We are enormously attached to our own ego and humility is a very difficult virtue to acquire. Sometimes, we have struggled for years to gain it and quite suddenly, we meet with another disastrous fall. It would be easy to be overcome by discouragement at this stage but this should not be allowed to happen. When we fall, we should say to God in our repentance: “It is good for me to be humbled.” To ourselves, we should say immediately: “Let us begin all over again.”
