Episode 53: How to Grow to Deeper Humility
From the Rooftop with Msgr. Winslow and Fr. Kauth
In this episode of 'From the Rooftop' podcast by Tan Books, Monsignor Patrick Winslow and Father Matthew Couth discuss the virtue of humility, drawing on Mother Teresa's definition that 'humility is nothing more than the truth.' They explore how true humility involves honest self-knowledge - neither thinking more nor less of ourselves than we truly are. The conversation weaves together insights from saints like Catherine of Siena and Thomas Aquinas, examining how humility relates to magnanimity and our relationship with God. The priests also touch on practical aspects of spiritual life during Lent. The discussion concludes with personal reflections on spring's arrival and maintaining spiritual disciplines beyond Lent.
