Reading: Doubtless, to humiliate himself man must not only state his baseness at all times. No less necessary is the living example of One Who was born in the humility of a manger, lived in obscurity in Nazareth, poor, unknown, forgotten, submissive to all; stripping Himself in His public life of the acclamations of the crowd, never seeking His own glory, abasing Himself even to washing the disciples' feet; and like the least of men, dying on the cross, saturated with opprobrium and humiliation. (MCM, p. 254)
