The Blessings of Humility Part 2

Jesus continued, “Blessed are those who mourn” (Matt 5:4). This second beatitude follows naturally the first. Those who see their continued sinfulness mourn over it. They long to see more progress in putting to death the persistent sins in their lives—even those “respectable” sins we so often tolerate in ourselves.
