Humility of Heart

To whatever sublime height of sanctity we may have attained, a fall is always to be feared. For, as says St Augustine, there is no holiness that cannot be lost through pride alone: If there be holiness in you, fear lest you may lose it. How? Through pride. This passage is from the essence of Humility of Heart. Just one of hundreds of common sense lessons in acquiring the Grace of Humility that author Father Gaetano Bergamo provides, still, 270 years after his death. We believe this edition of Humility of Heart is the most complete and thorough presentation of this magnificent work, ever produced. English readers will, for the first time, benefit from the translation of the final, all important segment of Humility, covering what Fr. Bergamo termed as: HUMILITY OF THE HEART. Easy to be attained, and maintained WITH THE DEVOTION TO THE ROSARY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY - added by the Author. This section features instructive, spiritual exercises that include meditations on each of the Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, the Hail Mary and the Our Father. This edition is packed with features including an Index, a complete Table of Contents plus detailed and expanded footnotes that assist in further reflections and meditations on Humility. The author s introduction and Preface have been restored; plus the myriad of Cardinal Vaughan s additions to the original text are identified for the first time.
