The 15 Steps to Humility
(Attributed to St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta)
1. Speak as little as possible of yourself.
2. Keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others.
3. Avoid curiosity about others’ lives.
4. Do not interfere in the affairs of others.
5. Accept small irritations with good humor.
6. Do not dwell on the faults of others.
7. Accept correction even if it is undeserved.
8. Give in to the will of others when it is reasonable.
9. Accept insults and injuries.
10. Accept being slighted, forgotten, or disliked.
11. Be kind and gentle even under provocation.
12. Never stand on your dignity.
13. Choose always the more difficult task when it leads to love.
14. Yield in discussions even when you are right.
15. In all things, seek only the will of God.
This list shows humility as something lived in hidden, ordinary moments through patience, surrender, and charity, mirroring the humility of Christ who “came not to be served but to serve.”
Did you know? The wounds of Christ were not random. Each major wound He endured on the Cross corresponds to the deepest sins that have afflicted humanity since the Fall—the very sins the prophets warned us about and that the Church still calls us to repent from today...
🔸 The Scourging — His flesh torn by countless lashes — atones for lust, our repeated offenses against the dignity of the body and the slavery of our passions.
🔸 The Crown of Thorns — piercing His sacred head — atones for pride, the root of all sin that exalts ourselves above God and others.
🔸 The Wounds on His Shoulders, Knees, and feet — from carrying the heavy Cross and falling under its weight — atone for injustice, the burdens we selfishly place on others through oppression, indifference, or greed.
🔸 The Nails in His Hands and Feet — fixing Him to the Cross — atone for disobedience, our stubborn rebellion against God’s will and the true freedom found only in surrender to Him.
🔸 The Spear in His Side — piercing His Heart after He had already died — atones for unbelief and rejection of God’s love. Notably, this wound was inflicted when He could feel no more pain… a powerful reminder that nothing we do can ever stop God’s love from being poured out for us.
These five wounds expose the five most persistent ways we’ve wounded ourselves and our relationship with God since Eden.
Yet Jesus bore every one of them with perfect, unconditional love, so that you and I could finally be set free: “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed.’” (1 Peter 2:24)
The feast of Maundy (or Holy) Thursday solemnly commemorates the institution of the Eucharist and is the oldest of the observances peculiar to Holy Week. On the Thursday of Holy Week, we recall the first Passover meal, also known as The Last Supper.
Here are a few more things to keep in mind on this day:
1) Also called Maundy Thursday.
*Maundy also means commandment.
On Holy Thursday, Jesus commanded us to love one another, saying: “Love one another, just as I have loved you, you should also love one another.” (John 13:34)
2) Jesus washed his disciples’ feet.
“If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13: 14-15)
3) Jesus instituted the Eucharist and the priesthood.
Jesus commanded his apostles to “do this in memory” and to celebrate the Eucharist until his return.
The institution of the Eucharist is mentioned in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It is also shared in Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. (Mt. 26:17-29; Mk. 14:12-25; Lk. 22:7-20; 1 Cor. 11:23-26)
4) Holy Thursday is the beginning of the Paschal Triduum.
This day is followed by Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Each of these days is significant as we prepare for Easter Sunday!
5) Following Mass, we adore the Blessed Sacrament at the Altar of Repose.
The faithful are invited to join in adoration and there is no traditional dismissal from Holy Thursday Mass.
"Fasting is most useful in preparing the soul for prayer, and the contemplation of divine things... as the angel Raphael says: 'Prayer is good with fasting.'"
-St. Robert Bellarmine

The Supreme Court has just ruled 6-3 that public schools as government institutions may not transition other people's children without parental knowledge and consent. Kudos to all involved including my old friend and superb litigator San Diego's own Charles LiMandri. God bless America!

The Baptism of the Lord
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
In today’s Gospel, Jesus steps into the waters of the Jordan in humility, not because He needs repentance, but to fully enter into our human story. As He rises from the water, the Father’s voice reveals His identity, and the Spirit descends in peace.
In Baptism, we too are claimed as beloved children of God, called to live in that identity every day.
🙏 May we remember who we are and walk confidently as sons and daughters of the Father.
