The Third Week of Lent: Key Aspects of Humility - Divine Intimacy Meditations

Welcome to the "Divine Intimacy Series" podcast, continuing the profound spiritual journey offered by Father Gabriel of Saint Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.'s Meditations on the Interior Life for Every Day of the Liturgical Year. This week, as we go into the Third Week of Lent, we continue our focus on the vital theme of humility.Join us as we reflect on Meditations 113 through 118, exploring key aspects of this essential virtue. We will contemplate Jesus' example of service and the call to embrace the "lowest place" in our lives, both before God and our neighbor. We will also examine the significance of the hidden life, learning from Jesus' choice to conceal His divinity and the importance of seeking God's glory in secret.Furthermore, we will consider the challenge of being hidden from oneself, moving beyond self-concern to center our focus entirely on Christ. This leads us to the desire to be hidden with Christ in God, participating in His interior life and intimacy with the Trinity. We will also discern the meaning of true glory, detaching ourselves from the fleeting desire for honor and recognition and seeking instead union with Jesus. Finally, we will confront the ego's tendency to make excuses and learn the importance of not excusing oneself, acknowledging our faults with humility.Meditations 113 to 118 from Divine Intimacy: Meditations on the Interior Life for Every Day of the Liturgical Year by Fr.
