Listen to Mother

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta taught: "God needs our poverty, not our abundance. These are means of being humble:

• Speak as little as possible about oneself;
• Take care of one's personal matters
• Avoid curiosity;
• Do not meddle in the affairs of others;
• Accept contradictions with good humor;
• Do not focus on the faults of others;
• Accept reproach, even if undeserved;
• Yield to the will of others;
• Accept insults and abuse;
• Accept feeling uncared for, forgotten, despised;
• Be courteous and sensitive, even if someone provokes you;
• Do not try to be admired and loved;
• Do not hide behind one's own dignity;
• Yield in arguments, even if one is right;
• Always choose what is most difficult."
