St. Bernard defines it as, "A virtue by which a man knowing himself as he truly is, abases himself (to the greater good). Christ is the ultimate definition of Humility."<ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/blog-timeline-shift/2468-humility-protects-us Humility Protects Us]</ref> | ||
