Where does humility begin? I have such a hard time with the sin of pride, and I was hoping for some advise.

Excellent and very well said.Humility begins with obedience.
Pride begins with disobedience.
True humility begins when we are aware of the One to Whom we owe thanks for our very existence. Scripture tells us that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” So to be wise necessitates acknowledgement of - and awe-filled reverence for - our Creator. Humility flourishes when we rejoice in knowing that there is One Who knows us down to the smallest particle of our physical being, and Who knows what He has created us to be. This all, of course, harkens back to one of the first questions of the catechism: “Why did God make me?” Once we know the “why” of our existence, humility follows. Then prayer flows as the right (and supernaturally-aided) response to surrender ourselves to His designs.Where does humility begin?
