The Pharisee, we remember was condemned for being an hupocrites, a word that means play-actor, pretender, dissembler. Humility means setting aside the mask…. We present ourselves to others transparently, in all our imperfection and vulnerability. We depend on their goodwill for acceptance and love, not on the success of our efforts at self-promotion.
MICHAEL CASEY, OCSO A Guide to Living in the Truth: St. Benedict’s Teaching on Humility
