 They that  are  Christ's  have  crucified  their  flesh with the  vices  and  concupiscences  (Gal.  v.  24).

Jesus said  to  His  disciples:  If  any  man  will  come after Me  let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his  cross and follow  Me  (Matt.  xxiv).

earn of  Me,  for  I  am  meek  and  humble  of  Heart; and you  shall  find  rest  for  your  souls  (Matt, xi.  29).

My son,  do  thy  works  in  meekness,  and  thou  shalt be beloved  above  the  glory  of  men. The greater  thou art, the  more  humble  thyself  in  all  things,  and  thou shalt find  grace  before  God:  for  great  is  the  power  of God  alone,  and  He  is  honored  by  the  humble  (Ecclus. iii.  19-21).

Jesus said:  You  know  that  the  princes  of  the  Gentiles lord  it  over  them;  and  they  that  are  the  greater exercise power  upon  them. It shall  not  be  so  among you; but  whosoever  will  be  the  greater  among  you, let him  be  your  minister:  And  he  that  will  be  first among you  shall  be  your  servant. Even as  the  Son of man  is  not  come  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to  minister, and  to  give  His  life  a  redemption  for  many (Matt. XX.  25-28).

You call  me  Master  and  Lord;  and  you  say  well, for so  I  am. If, then,  I  being  your  Lord  and  Master have washed  your  feet,  you  also  ought  to  wash  one another's feet. For I  have  given  you  an  example, that as  I  have  done,  so  you  do  also  (John  xiii.  13-15).

HE Lord  will  reward  me  according  to  my  justice, and will  repay  me  according  to  the  cleanness  of my  hands  (Ps.  xvii.  21).
