The Way of Humility

Nouwen entitled today's reading 'The Way of Humility.' When I think of a 'way' of something, I think of following a path, a certain way of progressing along a journey. He suggests prayer as a way of clearing the weeds that block access to the descending way of love. He makes part of his prayer one of praying for the attitude of Jesus. Prayer and changing my attitude are two things that I can do, with the attitude change I so often need the harder of the two for me. The way of humility doesn't get a lot of acclaim, but peace inside beats that every time.
