what we have

I kept last month's Magnificat because of several passages and meditations which struck me. Here's one:

 "What do you have that was not given to you? This is the true foundation of Christian humility. All pride should be smashed under this divine saying! The humility of the saints thus becomes more and more profound, because they come to know better and better their own frailty in contrast to the grandeur and goodness of God."

                                              -  Father Reginald Garrigou-LaGrange

Consider how the lilies of the field grow; they neither toil no spin,
yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed
like one of these.

-  Matthew 6:28b-29
