"Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the land"
Matthew 5:4
Douay Rheims Roman Catholic Bible
In August, we enjoy the fullness of the beauty of God's created universe in all of its splendor and majesty. August is dedicated to the commemoration of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mary, the most perfect follower of Jesus, fully obeyed God's will without hesitation. Our Lady's Immaculate heart is at once meek, humble, splendid and majestic. Excellent and convicting is the treatment of humility of the intellect and will in Saint Alphonsus Liguori's The 12 Steps to Holiness and Salvation.
