ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO
September 11, 2016Twenty-fourth Sunday
in Ordinary Time“This is why humility, spiritual poverty, is so precious:
it locates our identity securely in the one place where it will be safe from all harm.
If our treasure is in God, no one can take it from us. Humility is truth. I am what I am in God’s eyes: a poor child who possesses absolutely nothing,
who receives everything, infinitely loved and totally free.” (Fr. Jacques Philippe, Interior Freedom)
