“My child,” writes the author of Sirach, “conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.” Humility is a distinctly Jewish virtue and one that Jesus embraces as the foundation of his teaching on the Kingdom of God. Jesus often uses the image of a banquet to offer a teaching about the kingdom. The poor of Palestine could only dream of a banquet. The overflowing abundance of food and wine was beyond their hope. With this image, Jesus promises the poor that they are the chosen guests at God’s banquet. God has a preference for the lowly and only those who acknowledge their lowly status in relation to God and to others will be embraced at the banquet of eternal life. Many places in the Scriptures show that Jesus lived humility: “Learn from me for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves” (Matthew 11:29). Humility defines Jesus’ life and teaching and so it should define Christians’ lives, too. In relationship with God, humility defines us as dependent on God for everything; in relationship with others, humility defines us as servants to others. St. Augustine identified humility as the defining virtue of a Christian way of life, “This way consists, first of humility, second of humility, and third of humility. No matter how often you would ask me, I would say the same” (St. Augustine Letter 118). How do you define humility? Why would the image of a banquet be so

significant to the people who heard Jesus’ message?

Why do you think that humility is such a

significant virtue for a Christian?
