THE GRACE OF HUMILITY

 

HH, Patriarch Sir Godfrey

Precious Children of the Kingdom,

Today, let us reflect upon the grace of humility—a virtue so vital to the heart of our Lord and so necessary for the advancement of our sacred fellowship. Humility is not thinking less of oneself but thinking of oneself less; it is the soil in which all other virtues can flourish. It is humility that opens heaven’s doors and draws divine favour upon our steps.

Our Master, the Lord Jesus, humbled Himself even unto death, setting before us the supreme example. In His earthly ministry, He washed the feet of those who would soon betray and abandon Him—a lesson that true greatness belongs not to those who seek to be served, but to those who stoop to serve. Let this spirit of humility be found among all who carry the banner of The Mystical Order.

Pride erects barriers between brethren, silencing dialogue and breeding offence. Humility, in contrast, bridges hearts and mends what pride once fractured. As you journey together, prefer one another in love, esteeming each member as a reflection of the Christ who indwells us all. In meetings, let gentleness govern your speech. In dispute, let meekness restore harmony.

Beloved, do not seek applause, for your greatest reward is the quiet smile of Heaven. As The Mystical Order grows in influence and blessing, let us decrease that Christ may increase. The Lord exalts the lowly and resists the proud. When we choose humility, we position ourselves to receive wisdom, guidance, and strength far beyond our own.

May your lives echo the words, “Not unto us, O Lord, but to Your name be the glory.” In the end, all that matters is that God receives the honour through our humble obedience. Continue steadfastly in this path, and the heights of spiritual blessing shall surely be yours.
