I offered my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting. - Isaiah 50:6

Flagellation of Christ ~ Guercino
"The humility of Jesus can
be seen in the crib, in the exile to Egypt, in the hidden life,
in the inability to make people understand Him, in the desertion of His
apostles, in the hatred of His persecutors, in all the terrible suffering and
death of His Passion, and now in His permanent state of humility in the
tabernacle, where He has reduced Himself to such a small particle of bread that
the priest can hold Him with two fingers.
The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us."
The more we empty ourselves, the more room we give God to fill us."
Bl Mother Teresa of Calcutta
