BIBLE TEXT TO REFLECT
"Learn from me , for I am meek and humble of heart" ( Mt 11,191 . )Prayer before the San DamianoHigh and glorious GodHigh , glorious God ,enlighten the darknessof my heartand give me true faith ,certain hopeand perfect charity,sense and knowledge .Lord , to serveYour holy and true command .Any reflection about humility is that emphasize its Christian specificity , which has its roots in the person of Jesus , mystery and full manifestation of God's revelation : his " love " . In the same way Love Christological proceeds Francis: humility is poverty sister (SV 2 ) and the two together become a rule of life for his brothers ( R 10 , 1 bull Sept. 1 , Reg bull . 6, 29). In humility Franciscan spirituality appear as the root of evangelical perfection : only found in faith in Christ , transcending the natural abilities of man ( Buenaventura , De pefectione evangelical , and solutio ) . It is this high virtue that engulfed Francisco since that time that he met the " Love of your Life " " Love that gives full sway ." Humility and simplicity will become the banner will wave Francisco lifetime .
humility is a general attitude of the spirit that moves to obedience to the Father's will and serving others. Traits that are among many others who have been discovering the Seraphic Father. You will never tire of repeating : Only one thing is needed : " Owning the Spirit of God within them" . Only through this action of the Spirit possession and Francisco will always obey every last one of the novices who just joined the Order. This obedience to the Father's obviously leads to serve the Other and what seems bitter to him before the body turns into sweetness of soul , and is going to serve the poorest of the poor: A Leper , the marginalized, the " accursed of God." Francisco is one of love for the Gospel.
With Francis of Assisi we can say that God "is humility " ( Praise the most high God , 4). Humility of Christ manifested in history that humility is at the heart of the divine life is the immediate perception of his love (1 John 4:8,16 ) . did the kenosis of the Son kenotic refers to a mystery that has to be placed in the center of the Trinity ? of course ! " Christ despite divine status did not count equality with God , on the contrary, he emptied himself and took the form of a servant, being one of many . " (Phil 2:6-7 ) . This is true humility , emptied himself to be filled with God and the needs of individuals.
In A. T. We have the most humble person that is on the earth , according to the Bible is Moses. He was the most humble man that was on the earth, and at the same time, states that no God was with him. Here we find two very important aspects that are closely linked and that Francisco was so radical encounter with God's humility . No one comes to God , like Moses, because God speaks to Moses face to face, in the tent of meeting . And while he was the most humble person that was on the ground. Here it is clear that what generates true humility is the encounter with God. Francisco somehow humble follow Christ, poor and crucified , but also speaks with Him , be seen by Him , so francisco is transfigured , is " Christifies " .
The more we meet the Lord , the true encounter with the Lord , friendly dialogue , listening , contemplation Moses style , more humility reaches us. More ability to recognize as we are. As we are , no more, no less. This was precisely the wealth of San Francisco : " What one is before God that is and nothing more." How clear it was !
The result of the meeting between the God of Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob, as God says in Revelation that has to Moses in the burning bush Moses is a face that shines . To such an extent is the radiance of the face of Moses , that his countrymen , his countrymen feel as dazzled by the look of Moses. Moses must wear a veil whenever you leave the encounter with God.
In the miraculous catch find an event like this, which is the encounter between God and the human condition . Simon is being invited to assume the position as leader of the Jesus boat . On his own boat is visited by the Lord and have an incredible event . He has tried all night fishing with his fishing buddies . They do not get anything and gets indication offshore Jesus , obeying in faith, and fishing as he had never fished before . So many fish were taken they have to call colleagues in the other boat to help you carry the amount of fish that have been learned.
What is the reaction of Peter? "Depart from me Lord , for I am a sinner . " That is, the manifestation of God's greatness , generated in recognizing Simon who is : I am a sinner . But Jesus quickly exceeds what could have been the risk of departing from Simon , and hugs from the place where Simon has a better chance of discovering what your next mission, or his new mission : from now on you will catch men .
The Poverello of Assisi clearly discovered this and realized that the " company " that he entrusted his work was not nor would it be the fruit of your work , your tired , your effort and vigilance , but that would grace of God and thus would have to accept it and live it. This was necessary to remain faithful to what God had entrusted to him . Therefore nevertheless Francisco was the happiest man on the face of the earth, for the joy that came from your Lord poured with which he was so permanete .
Therefore, humility is the result of the meeting . The meeting places us . And the result is the radiance and joy. The true joy springs of true humility .
