Humble Yourselves In All Things

In the love which God is (1 John 4:16) I beseech all my brothers - speakers, workers, whether clerics or laics: Seek to humble yourselves in all things, and do not glory in yourselves or rejoice inwardly, or exalt yourselves for the good words and works or, indeed, of any good which God sometimes says or does or works in you and through you.

St. Francis
Rule of 1221
Chapter XVII
