Imitate the humility of Mary

IN GOD’S PRESENCE, CONSIDER . . . How do I respond to words of praise from others? Do I imitate the humility of Mary? 

CLOSING PRAYER From a prayer of St. Bernard of Clairvaux: You, Mary, are the beautiful garden in which God has planted all the flowers that adorn the Church—among others, the violet of your humility, the lily of your purity, the rose of your charity. With whom can we compare you, O mother of grace and beauty?
