How can I grow in the virtue of humility?

[Jaysdec]

And in poverty of spirit and in gratitude??? I have struggles with spiritual pride…Im a young adult single guy in my late 30s…and Im a convert…

Pray. Whoever wants to be first, should be last and make himself a slave to all. Count your blessings.

 

[Irishmom2]

Ask God what you can do for Him, instead of telling Him what you want. Put others needs ahead of yours. Be a good listener, most of what we say is not worth hearing. Give people the benefit of a doubt and try to help those in need without judging. Look for small things every day to give thanks to God for giving you.

The Jesus Prayer // The Prayer // The Wish

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.”

Repeated as many times as you can, usually for ten or fifteen minutes at a time without picturing any image in your mind (even of Jesus or Mary) focusing only on the words and their meaning with no other thoughts.

I offer this advice not out of spiritual adeptness, but in my own misery as the greatest sinner and the foremost in need of this prayer.

Everyone that calls on the LORD shall be saved. – Acts 2:21

 

[GLam8833]

“Humble” in the Old Testament meant to
fast, and in the New Testament it is connected
to prayer and Jesus adds alms-giving to the
list(Matt. 6:1-18)

For me it is to think of oneself little not think little of oneself.
