ESPRESSO SHOT: You Are Better Than Me

by Father Brian J. Soliven on Saturday August 23, 2025

Humility is the heartbeat of every Christ-centered relationship, reflecting the very nature of Jesus, who though He was God chose to serve rather than be served. In light of His example, humility allows us to love without pride, listen without judgment, and forgive without hesitation. It softens our hearts, making space for grace to flourish between us. When we approach others with humility, we mirror the gentleness of Christ, building relationships not on ego or control, but on compassion, patience, and mutual respect. True strength in relationships is found not in being right, but in being Christlike.
