Don’t wish to be like the gilded weather-cock on top of a great building: however much it shines, and however high it stands, it adds nothing to the solidity of the building.
Rather be like an old stone block hidden in the foundations, underground, where no one can see you: because of you the house will not fall.
Humility is another good way to arrive at interior peace. He has said so: ‘Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart: and you will find rest for your souls.’
This excerpt is from Josemaría Escrivá’s book The Way.
