Humility is a flower without thorns.


This morning, blessed Jesus came for just a little and told me:  “My daughter, humility is a flower without thorns, and because it is without thorns, it can be held in one’s hand, it can be clasped, it can be placed wherever one wants, without fear of being bothered or pricked.  Such is the humble soul.  One can say that she does not have the pricks of defects; and since she is without pricks, one can do with her whatever he wants.  Not having thorns, naturally she does not prick nor cause bother to others, because thorns are given by one who has them; but if one does not have them, how can he give them?

Not only this, but humility is a flower which strengthens and clears one’s sight; and with its clearness, it knows how to stay away from the thorns themselves.”
