Frequent Confession and Communion will provide you with the most
effective help to persevere in the practice of humility. In Confession, we reveal to a man like us the most secret
and shameful miseries of our soul; it is the greatest act of humility
that Jesus Christ demanded of his disciples. In Holy Communion, we receive in our heart God-made-man,
debased for our love; it is a marvelous school of humility and a most
powerful means of acquiring it. In it, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, meek
and humble furnace of love and charity, will rest upon your heart. Then, ask him for humility with all the fervor of your soul; he will
grant it to you. Go frequently to receive this love-worthy sacrament; as
often as you go with the necessary dispositions, you will find the
hidden manna, reserved only to those who seek it eagerly.
J. Pecci (later Pope Leo XIII)
