I need to reflect on this whole section much more, but in the one part in the "humility" reading, this I highlighted "For the growth of this virtue, one can grow in humility by practicing one of these aspects of humility each month, and thus have a yearlong training in humility in the school of Mary. These virtues are not to be studied, but exercised."
To focus on one degree of humility at a time, instead of reading the list and thinking....how can I ever get "there"?! I must note one and have it with the daily Mass readings.....so I remember what I am focusing on because there are so many distractions! Oh Mary, our Mother, and Jesus, our Savior, open our hearts for the graces waiting and ready.
The book we are using for this blog "The Echo of God" is a commentary for beginners on St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary. The entire purpose of the blog is to help each of us to grow in our love for Jesus and His and our mother, Mary. The Echo of God will assist any reader who finds difficulty in appropriating Montfort's sublime teaching on the role of Mary in the formation of saints for the latter times.

This reflection reminded me that we are in the "school of Mary" as she leads us, even through this study, in how to truly live as a disciple. .... I think of my age and how much time I have wasted and how much more I want to progress in the spiritual life ... but as with the example of humility that you gave, it is taking one step at a time and really focusing on it. May I be lead and guided by the Spirit through the powerful intercession of Mary.
