We have to be humble, but with real humility, from head to toe. If we only pride ourselves on our service record and nothing more, we end up going wrong. Not sinners with that kind of humility, which seems more a put-on face, no? Oh no, strong humility. This is the model of humility for us priests, too. We cannot proclaim Jesus Christ the Savior if we do not feel him present and at work deep down...We have a treasure, that of Jesus Christ the Savior, the Cross of Jesus Christ, this treasure of which we pride ourselves, but we have it in a clay vessel. Let us vaunt our ‘handbook’ of our sins". Jesus is a gift that we can only understand, only receive, in earthen vessels. - Pope Francis (6/14/2013)
