Overview:
Overview:
Throughout Sophie’s spiritual writings and letters, she writes humility as the virtue we need most. Citing the words of Jesus, “Learn for me, for I am gentle and humble of heart,” one of the few quotations found in the 1982 Constitutions of the Society, Sophie encourages the sister/teachers to let humility and charity guide their teaching and provide a model for the children. Today, humility tends to elicit feelings of shame and humiliation—but for Sophie, humility was a counter to the entitlement and haughtiness found among certain societal classes. In this workshop, we will explore how to follow Jesus as a tender and humble leader who seeks reconciliation and peace in the world.
