Anthony A. Akinwale, OP, reflects on humility through the contrast between legitimate recognition of achievement and the arrogance of self-overestimation. Human talents and successes are gifts from God, not self-created possessions, and should be used to uplift others rather than to claim superiority. By imitating Christ’s self-effacement and receiving strength through the Eucharist, believers can honor the equal dignity of all people and become agents of a civilization of love. The text asks readers to examine self-promotion and distinguish healthy appreciation from destructive arrogance in public life and humility.
