Humility of the intellect and will.
Humility of the intellect is to know your own faults, admitting them but even even thieves and tansgressors would be considered humble if they acknowledged their sins and confessed their unlawful deeds.
Over and above humility of the intellect and combined with it is humility of the will. This isthe willingness to to be recognized for what you are and being treated accordingly even if falsely accused of some fault and bear it with patience and love
St John of the Cross in the precaution against the devil says: seek with all your heart to humble yourself in word and deed, rejoicing in the good of others as if it were your own desiring that they be given precedence over you in all things, and this you should do whole-heartedly. You will overcome evil with good, banish the devil, and possess a happy heart try to practice this with those who least attract you Realize that( if you train yourself in this way )you will not attain real charity nor make any progress in it. Prefer to be taught by all then desire to teach even the least of all (Collected Works, p. 660)
